In the Sutra Completely Dear to Monks:
An extremely well-disciplined person is
Beautiful to look at, Abides by the Vinaya,
Trusts the practice of discipline, Accumulates in a single day
Inexhaustible mountains of merit; And thus will attain enlightenment.
And Arya Nagarjuna said,
"Discipline is the ground of all qualities," said the Buddha. "Just as the earth is the ground that supports animate and inanimate phenomena

Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse
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.

, What Makes You Not a Buddhist
Tsikey Chokling Rinpoche
The view of the natural state is beyond concepts, The meditation is beyond meditating, The conduct is beyond accepting and rejecting, The fruition is beyond hope and fear.

HH Dilgo khyentse yangsi rinpoche
I’m not a politician but what I could say is that nothing in the world will settle down unless the minds of human beings settle down. For hundreds and hundreds of years people have always been in conflict, fighting each other—it’s not something new.

obsession of The Mind #valentinesday2022
[1] The Book of the Ones
Homage to the Blessed One, the Arahant,
the Perfectly Enlightened One
I. Obsession of the Mind
1 (1)
Thus have I heard. On one occasion the Blessed One was dwelling
at Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Park. There the
Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: “Bhikkhus!”
“Venerable sir!” those bhikkhus replied. The Blessed One
said this:
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that so obsesses
the mind17 of a man as the form of a woman. The form of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”
2 (2)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other sound that so obsesses
the mind of a man as the sound of a woman. The sound of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”
3 (3)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other odor that so obsesses the
mind of a man as the odor of a woman. The odor of a woman
obsesses the mind of a man.”18 [2]
4 (4)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other taste that so obsesses the
mind of a man as the taste of a woman. The taste of a woman
obsesses the mind of a man.”19
90 The Book of the Ones I 3
5 (5)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other touch that so obsesses
the mind of a man as the touch of a woman. The touch of a
woman obsesses the mind of a man.”20
6 (6)21
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other form that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the form of a man. The form of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
7 (7)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other sound that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the sound of a man. The sound of a
man obsesses the mind of a woman.”
8 (
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other odor that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the odor of a man. The odor of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
9 (9)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other taste that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the taste of a man. The taste of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.”
10 (10)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other touch that so obsesses
the mind of a woman as the touch of a man. The touch of a man
obsesses the mind of a woman.” [3]
II. Abandoning the Hindrances22
11 (1)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen sensual desire arises and arisen sensual desire
increases and expands so much as the mark of the attractive.
23 For one who attends carelessly to the mark of the attractive,
unarisen sensual desire arises and arisen sensual desire
increases and expands
12 (2)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen ill will arises and arisen ill will increases and
expands so much as the mark of the repulsive.24 For one who
attends carelessly to the mark of the repulsive, unarisen ill will
arises and arisen ill will increases and expands.”
13 (3)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of which
unarisen dullness and drowsiness arise and arisen dullness and
drowsiness increase and expand so much as discontent, lethargy,
lazy stretching, drowsiness after meals, and sluggishness
of mind.25 For one with a sluggish mind, unarisen dullness and
drowsiness arise and arisen dullness and drowsiness increase
and expand.”
14 (4)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen restlessness and remorse arise and arisen
restlessness and remorse increase and expand so much as an
unsettled mind.26 For one with an unsettled mind, unarisen restlessness
and remorse arise and arisen restlessness and remorse
increase and expand.” [4]
15 (5)
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen doubt arises and arisen doubt increases and
expands so much as careless attention.27 For one who attends
carelessly, unarisen doubt arises and arisen doubt increases and
expands.”
16 (6)28
“Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing on account of
which unarisen sensual desire does not arise and arisen sensual
desire is abandoned so much as the mark of the unattractive.29
For one who attends carefully to the mark of the unattractive,
unarisen sensual desire does not arise and arisen sensual desire
is abandoned.”30
