O Kāśyapa, the mind is not seen in the outer world; it is not seen in the inner world; and it is not seen in between these two. When you look for the mind, it is nowhere to be found; it cannot be observed. ~ Ratnakūṭa Sutra

When the clarity of mind does not recognize itself as the in-dwelling mind there is the confusion of grasping at the clarity as something other. ~ Tsoknyi Rinpoche

To evoke the original face of the primal awareness of pure presence and contemplate it nakedly is the crux of this instruction. Do not think, however, that pure presence, which is the ground of all manifestation, and the mind arising as its expression are two separate entities. ~ Tulku Tsulo

If we do not abandon the identification of naked pure presence with mystical experience, then pure presence will always arise with attachment to bliss, clarity, and no-thought, and our meditation will never go beyond the three mundane worlds. ~ Tulku Pema Rigtsal

Pristine wisdom is not arisen from mind, but is the mode of subsistence of the mind, the clear light nature. ~ Mipham

The nature of phenomenal reality is such that all of reality at one moment acts together to bring about all that exists at the next moment of time. This is known as the system of interdependent co-origination. ~ KPSR

The embodiment of the Dharma is pure like the sky. The river of its assorted blessings is undammed. It brings everything together in a state of self-luminescence. This is the treasury of the blessings of the embodiment of the Dharma. ~ Great Tantra of Vajrasattva

This very ordinary mind is not differentiable from the immaculate wisdom of an enlightened being. The mind of an enlightened being is not acquired as something new, but comes from gaining greater understanding and greater insight into the very mind with which you are already familiar. ~ Gampopa

The self-occurring teachings dawn on us. The wheel of self luminescence rolls on us. The treasure of the totality of the self-luminescent sun Abides in everything. This is a dominion that is not linked to our understanding. ~ The Great Tantra of Vajrasattava

Suffering itself is great blissfulness. Everything is the movement of great blissfulness. This is true independent of our realization of it. When you realize that, then that's it! This is the great blissfulness -- this is the true nature. ~ KPSR

Until we realize—experientially—the field of self-sprung sameness, We may verbally obsess with the term “nonduality” And speculate confidently about what is nonreferential, But such egregious thinking is dark and ignorant. ~ Longchenpa

As Nagarjuna puts it, the purpose of emptiness is to bring about the cessation of conceptual elaboration, which lies at the root of our grasping, psychological imprisonment to a solidified notion of reality, and emotional reactivity in our relationship with the world around us. ~ Thupten Jinpa

As you come to understand the mind, your capacity for love & compassion expands. Developing this type of knowledge is actually the essence of our practice. Study & meditate as much as you can to mature this aspect of yourself. Open your mind to the wisdom received from the ten directions. ~ KPSR

That means as soon as you arouse love, you are one with the Buddha. When you generate compassion or invoke bodhicitta wisdom, you are awakening the buddhamind. To continuously abide in that state, fully-engaged in self-transcending activities, is buddhahood. ~ Khenchen Palden Sherab (1938-2010)

Whenever we look at other sentient beings, we should think how kind they are because it is because of them that we will achieve buddhahood. Don’t glare at them angrily; look at them well and gently. This teaches how we should look at people. ~ Khenchen Thrangu

In the most profound Dharma teachings, even the senses and sense objects—as we think of them—are viewed as “unnecessary complications of existence.” We can get closer to reality than that. We could reach a direct understanding of truth that passes beyond our karmic vision of the world. 0861714881

The essence becomes obscured by the expression. The expression of our own attention takes the form of the confused thinking that obscures us. In other words, we are obscuring our own buddha nature, and now is the time to clear up this confusion. ~ Tulku Urgyen

The reality that dawns from itself Is like the rays of the sun, Or like a jewel. It is spontaneously perfected from the primordial, Without any acquisition. It neither goes nor comes, For it encompasses all things. Use this to teach the way of enlightenment! ~ Great Tantra of Vajrasattva

The clear aspect is unceasing. We are always knowing. At the same time, the essence of that which knows is empty. The mind is empty, yet it knows, and these two are unified. This is the unobscured face of our mother. ~ Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche

The key point is that all things And the ultimate expanse are one, Like water and its waves. All things are, from the very first, essentialized Within this one key point of the great secret. Simply knowing this brings freedom, For it is simply the nature of phenomena. ~ Longchenpa

In awareness, there’s no outer object to be apprehended; There’s no inner apprehending subject. In awareness, there is neither time nor place. Awareness is beyond phenomena that arise and cease. ~ Longchenpa
