Mind Beyond Death Quotes

“When we begin to genuinely appreciate the illusory, dreamlike nature of our waking experiences, we are starting to mix those appearances with the appearances of our nighttime dreams. We are bringing those two states closer together.”
― Dzogchen Ponlop, Mind Beyond Death

“Even in our own lives, there are times when we want something so much that we cannot let go of the thought of it. Whether that is an object, a person or a state of mind, whatever it is, we long for it, but it remains out of reach. Then, at the very point where we totally give up and let go of it, we get what we have been wishing for.”
― Dzogchen Ponlop, Mind Beyond Death

“Whenever we talk about "our life," we are, in effect, talking about the present moment, which is where our life is truly lived. That is who and where we are most genuinely. Therefore, the practise of all three yanas is the practise of coming back to the present moment, over and over. Because the present is always within reach, we can always try to be there. Whatever our situation, whatever our surroundings may be, we can make the effort to be there without altering anything. If confusion is there, we can look nakedly at its essence. If joy is there, we can look directly at the peak of that experience.”
