"If we are not kind, all our advanced practices are merely a colourful entertainment."

Kindness, Ngak'chang Rinpoche, Aro Encyclopaedia

"From the point of view of shi-nè, boredom marks the beginning of realisation."

A rolling wave of energy

"Once we develop our experience of shi-nè, boredom is no longer 'boredom' but a wellspring of nourishment-a rolling wave of energy."

Being referenceless

"In terms of deep-rooted attachment to thought, one is getting used to non-referentiality. One is getting used to being referenceless."
