The true meaning of the precepts is not just that one should refrain from drinking alcohol, but also from getting drunk on nirvana.

Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.

All philosophies are mental fabrications.
There has never been a single doctrine by which one could enter the true essence of things.

My religion is to live and die without regret.

To integrate practice into everyday life, you should allow the spaciousness you discover in your sitting to overflow into your ordinary life experience.

No matter how much of something you get, it never satisfies your desire for better or more. This unceasing desire is suffering; its nature is emotional frustration.

Oh yes, I know the feeling as of late. Buddha cure me of my idiocy.

Practice is a pain in the arse-literally. Practice is a pain in the anatomy of your body, speech and mind, and you have to have something greater than yourself to keep you going through that frustration. There has to be some kind of energy there that is not primarily self-orientated, self-validating, or self-referencing.

Emotions come from frustration. The meaning of emotion is frustration in the sense that we are or might be unable to fulfill what we want. We discover our possible failure as something pathetic, and so we develop our tentacles or sharpen our claws to the extreme. The emotion is a way of competing with the projection. That is the mechanism of emotion. The whole point is that the projections have been our own manifestations all along.

The problem with paying much attention at all to emotional states is that we must on some level believe that they are real if we are considering them at all. We reinforce our sense of egoic reality by examing and exploring them, much in the way Narcissis was enamored of his reflection. When we come to practice from that place, we create extra obstacles and encounter even greater resistance.

The end of the road always reflects emptiness, because at the end of a journey, there is nowhere else to go.

[Builder]

We need to generate some sense of intangible voyeurism in order to apprehend the ways in which emptiness and form cross-dress.

Dzogchen approaches everything from the perspective of the primordial nondual state

Only through the death of one moment can the next moment arise

No-one else is responsible for how we perceive the world.
