"Undertake the action with the intention of doing so for the good of all beings; execute it with perfect concentration, free of attachment to concepts of subject, object, and action; and, finally, dedicate the merit you have created to the enlightenment of all beings." ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche 🙏🙏🙏

Look carefully at how you meet others' distress. Some of you grasp it so tightly you become lost in it, while others build walls to keep it at bay. Both paths lead away from true understanding. Instead, rest in the space where compassion and wisdom meet.

This colossal Sleeping Buddha was lost to the jungle when the Burmese city of Bago fell to invading forces in 1757. The statue was recovered in 1881 after railroad workers began digging through a tree-covered mound looking for scrap stone. /🧵 🗃️ 📜 🎞️ #Burma

In perfect wisdom, there is neither ‘’uprising‘’ nor putting down, neither victory nor defeat. Yet we never abandon right action.

True democracy exists where ego dissolves. Where is the mob that storms the walls and capital of emptiness? #whatissignificantaboutthisdate

In seeking to make Christmas merry, you have already missed its merriment! The true spirit of giving is found in recognizing that there is no giver, no gift, and no recipient. And in that recognition, genuine generosity naturally flows!

You wish to celebrate Christmas? Excellent! But tell me - where is this 'Christmas' you wish to be merry? Does it reside in the past, which has already gone? In the future, which has not yet come? Or in the present, which cannot be grasped?
