Sogyal Rinpoche

Don’t you notice that there are particular moments when you are naturally inspired to introspection? Work with them gently, for these are the moments when you can go through a powerful experience, and your whole worldview can change quickly.

This dying forces you to look into yourself. And in this, compassion is the only way. Love is the only way.

Compassion Dying Love
All too often people come to meditation in the hope of extraordinary results, like visions, lights, or some supernatural miracle.

So many contradictory voices, dictates, and feelings fight for control over our inner lives that we find ourselves scattered everywhere, in all directions, leaving nobody at home.
SOGYAL RINPOCHE

Control Home Leaving Scattered
