If your path teaches you…

‎If your path teaches you to act and exert yourself correctly and leads to spiritual realizations such as love, compassion and wisdom then obviously it’s worthwhile. ~ Lama Thubten Yeshe

Nature of your mind

If you know the psychological nature of your own mind, depression is spontaneously dispelled; instead of being enemies and strangers, all living beings become your friends. The narrow mind rejects; wisdom accepts. Check your own mind to see whether or not this is true. ~ Lama Thubten Yeshe

 

Become gentle with others

Treat yourself, your mind, sympathetically, with loving kindness. If you are gentle with yourself you will become gentle with others – so don’t push. ~ Lama Thubten Yeshe

Inner Nature

Without understanding how your inner nature evolves, how can you possibly discover eternal happiness? Where is eternal happiness? It’s not in the sky or in the jungle; you won’t find it in the air or under the ground. Everlasting happiness is within you, within your psyche, your consciousness, your mind. That’s why it’s important that you investigate the nature of your own mind. ~ Lama Thubten Yeshe

The Nature of your Mind

“Realize that the nature of your mind is different from that of the flesh and bone of your physical body. Your mind is like a mirror, reflecting everything without discrimination. If you have understanding-wisdom, you can control the kind of reflection that you allow into the mirror of your mind.”–Lama Thubten Yeshe
