The first is early morning, when the pure part of food separates from the impure, when your mind is sharp, your body rested, your intellect clear, and your bindu has increased. At this time, the power of both faults and virtues is magnified—so it is essential to recognize any thought that arises as an expression of desire, and to channel it onto the Path of virtue.

If you see things with true understanding, there is no clinging in your relationship with them. They come—pleasant and unpleasant alike—you see them, and there is no attachment. They come and they go. Even if the worst kinds of defilements arise—greed or anger—you have enough wisdom to see their impermanent nature and let them fade away.
But if you react to them—liking or disliking—that is not wisdom. You are only c…

Purity and impurity depend on oneself. No one can purify another.

Dharma practice should bring you to a point where you can maintain the same unbroken awareness—whether you are in formal session or going about your daily activities.
This is the essence of all spiritual instructions. Without it, no matter how many mantras and prayers you recite, no matter how many thousands of prostrations and circumambulations you perform—if your mind remains distracted, none of it will help you f…

Any success, big or small, in spiritual or worldly matters, depends on the merit you have accumulated. So do not neglect even the smallest virtuous deed. Just do it. Likewise, do not overlook even the slightest mistake—simply refrain from making it.

As a result of resting the mind in a state of calmness, the clarity of the nature of mind begins to shine. However, most of us do not experience this calmness; our minds are as turbulent as a hurricane.
Though it is difficult, we all have the capacity to calm the mind — and this can be accomplished through joyful effort and courage. All teachers, including your own root master, are none other than your own awareness…

FIVE KINDS OF GENEROSITY YOU SHOULD NEVER WITHHOLD
1) Offer others a smile through your face.
2) Give others a kind and loving gaze through your eyes.
3) Speak of others' good qualities through your mouth.
4) Wish others well from the bottom of your heart — through your heart.
5) Show others respect and reverence through your body.

To truly gauge how deeply this practice has taken root in your life, measure yourself against Geshe Chengawa. He practiced without pause—he never even slept. Geshe Tonpa once urged him, "You really should rest, my son, or you'll make yourself ill." Chengawa replied, "Yes, I know I need rest. But when I consider how rare and precious this human life is—with all its freedoms and advantages—I simply cannot bring myself …

In fact, passion causes suffering the very moment it arises, and although some of its manifestations may seem quite pleasant, ultimately all emotions cause pain. It may seem that desire brings bliss or at least satisfaction, but at the same time, it gives rise to both the hope of experiencing even more of such feelings and the fear that this may never happen, making suffering in this situation inevitable.

The purpose of our life is not just to solve our own problems, or to find our own personal happiness. The real meaning of our life is to be of benefit to others—to help living beings, whether one or many. To free countless sentient beings from suffering and lead them to the supreme happiness of full enlightenment—that is the true reason to live. That is what gives our life meaning. Each one of us carries a universal …

It should be clearly understood: anyone who directly realizes the nature of emptiness experiences the spontaneous generation of bodhichitta. There is no realization of emptiness that does not contain bodhichitta as its inseparable essence. Just as heat is the nature of fire, compassion is the nature of emptiness.

In Buddhism, the following paradox is explained: a person who strives with all their might solely for their own good very intricately creates the very causes of their own suffering. Conversely, a compassionate person who helps all people, without dividing them into "us" and "them," lives happily. The more a person cares for the happiness of others, the greater their own sense of well-being becomes. Developing closene…

A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
