Be the people you are

We do not blather about humility, temperance, modesty, abstinence, patience, virtue, tolerance, sanctity, devotion, piety, and the need to destroy ‘ego’.  We would find such a discourse distasteful. So, be as exuberant as you like.  Be vivid.  Be naturally glorious, magnificent, spontaneous, extemporaneous, whimsical, delighted.  Laugh often and be the people you are.

Love could expand

Nothing makes us happier than witnessing someone falling in love with an aspect of the phenomenal world.  It’s an indication that this love could expand to include everyone and everything everywhere.

Like the sky

Awareness is like the sky.  Consciousness is like a bird in the sky.  Birds fly into sight and out of sight.  If one concentrates on the movement of birds, one will lose concentration repeatedly.

Whether we like it or not

Whether we like it or not – Vajrayana is what is happening.  Vajrayana is the warp and weft of reality.

Wind horse

rLung rTa—wind horse—is appreciative vitality, in which the appreciation and vitality incite each other.
