Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “We usually appreciate only half the cycle of impermanence. We can accept birth but not death, gain but not loss, or the end of exams but not the beginning. True liberation comes from appreciating the whole cycle and not grasping onto those things we find agreeable.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “All methods of Buddhism can be explained with the four seals – all compounded phenomena are impermanent, all emotions are pain, all things have no inherent existence, and enlightenment is beyond concepts.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “However, the path itself must eventually be abandoned, just as you abandon a boat when you reach the other shore. You must disembark once you have arrived.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “Subconsciously we are lured by the expectation that we will reach a stage where we don’t have to fix anything ever again.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “The process of relating to this reflection of the inner Buddha is called devotion.

And as long as there is devotion, there is an outer teacher.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “It’s vital always to bear in mind that we practise for the sake of all other beings, and that the enormity of this aspiration is what makes dharma practice both extremely powerful and inexhaustible, virtually guaranteeing that the result will be infinitely beneficial.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “There will be times, for example, when you feel you are faking it. However hard you try genuinely to practice, it just doesn’t feel right.

So, try to be content with your practice, whatever it feels like, even when you are doing little more than paying it lip service, because at least you are making an effort.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “The sutras liken reincarnation to the relationship between teachers and students. A singing teacher teaches students how to sing. His students learn techniques and benefit from direct experiential advice from their teacher. But the teacher doesn’t remove a song from his throat and insert it into a student’s mouth. Similarly, reincarnation is a continuity of everything we have learnt, like lighting one candle from another, or a face and its reflection in a mirror.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “A more appropriate question to ask a Buddhist is simply, “What is life?” From our understanding of impermanence, the answer should be obvious: “Life is a big array of assembled phenomena, and thus life is impermanent.” It is a constant shifting, a collection of transitory experiences. And although myriad life-forms exist, one thing we all have in common is that no living being wishes to suffer. We.”

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “Every time we make an assumption – for example, that we understand our spouse – we are exposing ourselves like an open wound.

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Quote: “Proud families spend fortunes on a one-day wedding ceremony for a marriage that may or may not last, while on the same day, in the same village, people are dying of starvation.

Little has changed from the old feudal systems.”
