The root of all mind is your own present pure awareness. Rest in that essence without seeking elsewhere.

Recognize the emptiness of all phenomena, but do not become attached to emptiness itself.

If you want to know the past, look at the present. If you want to know the future, look at the present.

The difference between buddhas and sentient beings is that buddhas recognize their nature while sentient beings fail to recognize it.

If you want to know your past life, look at your present condition. If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.

Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour.

In the moment of love, awareness is very strong. Use that awareness, that strength of consciousness, to look into yourself.

The practitioner and practice are like fire and wood. The more you practice, the more you burn.

The everyday practice is simply to develop complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions.

The master's introduction is direct recognition of one's own nature. Meditation is maintaining the continuity of this recognition.

The nature of mind is like a mirror. It is not affected by whatever appears in it, yet it never fails to reflect everything perfectly.

Past thoughts are traceless, clear, and empty. Future thoughts are unborn and fresh. The present moment abides naturally and unconstructed.

The nature of mind is the unity of awareness and emptiness.

Knowledge must be stabilized by meditation. Without meditation, knowledge is like a child in battle.

External phenomena are like a dream, whatever appears is not real. Recognize the nature of dream-like phenomena to be dream-like.

When the iron bird flies and horses run on wheels, the Tibetan people will be scattered like ants across the face of the earth.

The supreme path is not to fabricate anything. The supreme meditation is not to be distracted.

The nature of everything is empty and clear, and the mind is beyond both existence and nonexistence.

All that appears and exists, all of samsara and nirvana, has one ground, two paths, and two results. This is the magical display of awareness and unawareness.

Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.
