HE Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse

If there is no blind hope, there is also no disappointment. If one knows that everything is impermanent, one does not grasp, and if one does not grasp, one will not think in terms of having or lacking, and therefore one lives fully.

 HE Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse, What Makes You Not a Buddhist

View, meditation, conduct and result ~ Dudjom Rinpoche

The realization that all phenomena of samsara and enlightenment are emptiness inseparable from naked awareness is the view.

To release present awareness within the spacious natural state and then to sustain the self-liberation of thoughts without grasping is meditation.

All post-meditative activity done harmoniously with the Dharma is the conduct.

The complete manifestation of that abiding nature is the result.

Seeing naked awareness ~ Dudjom Rinpoche

Rest at ease within the uncontrived nature of mind.

By looking, nothing is seen;

Seeing nothing is actually to see naked awareness:

That itself is Buddha Kuntu Zangpo.

"If you receive empowerment, it's about bodhicitta. If you receive teachings, it's about bodhicitta. If you practice teachings, it's about bodhicitta. Everything comes down to bodhicitta. The essence of practice is about bodhicitta. When you sit down to do your practice, what you practice is bodhicitta." ~ H E Garchen Rinpoche

H H Dudjom Jigdral Yeshe Dorje

When a thought arises, it brings another with it, and then another, in an endless sequence. It is this chain which has deceived us from beginningless time, and if we do not break it, it will continue to deceive us in the future.

Kalu Rinpoche

If a hundred people sleep and dream,

each of them will experience a different world in his dream.

Everyone’s dream might be said to be true,

but it would be meaningless to ascertain that only one person’s dream was the true world and all others were fallacies.

There is truth for each perceiver according to the karmic patterns conditioning his perceptions.

His Holiness The 12th Gyalwang Drukpa, Jigmet Pema Wangchen

Give yourself time and space to be connected with nature. The external nature will bring you closer to your own nature. If we keep looking outside for something, for happiness, for peace, for love, for luck, for bliss, we will never be able to find them, because they are all within us. If we cannot develop or find these positive qualities within ourselves, then we will always be affected by external situations. To have this inner development, we have to slow down, listen more, talk less, pay more attention to our inner voice, and pay more attention to the present, instead of thinking about the future and regretting the past. For us, most of the time, our mind is everywhere. Therefore we cannot appreciate even our food, our family, our job, our friends; forget about appreciating our own spirituality.

Sogyal Rinpoche

Perhaps the deepest reason why we are afraid of death is because we do not know who we are. We believe in a personal, unique, and separate identity — but if we dare to examine it, we find that this identity depends entirely on an endless collection of things to prop it up: our name, our "biography," our partners, family, home, job, friends, credit cards… It is on their fragile and transient support that we rely for our security. So when they are all taken away, will we have any idea of who we really are?

Without our familiar props, we are faced with just ourselves, a person we do not know, an unnerving stranger with whom we have been living all the time but we never really wanted to meet. Isn't that why we have tried to fill every moment of time with noise and activity, however boring or trivial, to ensure that we are never left in silence with this stranger on our own?

Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying

H E Gyang Khang Chotrul Rinpoche

If there is ever any wisdom in my teaching (however little it may be), it is given by the Bodhisattvas and my gurus. According to Maha Parinirvana Sutra, all sentient beings are endowed with Buddha nature. Nevertheless, it is still a long journey before we are totally free from suffering and attain liberation. As a monk, I am just an ordinary human being. The only difference between you and me, however, is my strong resolve in my spiritual path.

~~~ H E Gyang Khang Chotrul Rinpoche

Lama Thubten Yeshe

Your whole life is controlled by karma, you live within the energy field of karma. Your energy interacts with another energy, then another, and another. That’s how your entire life unfolds. Physically, mentally, it’s all karma.

HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche

The basic cause of our being stuck in cyclic existence, in samsara, is our excessive attachment to various objects. It’s always one object or another. To become liberated from cyclic existence, it is ultimately necessary to be free of all attach-ments. ~~ HH Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche ,The practice of Mahamudra, Snow Lion publication

Mipham Chokyi Lodro (27 October 1952 – 11 June 2014), also known as Kunzig Shamar Rinpoche,

The common problem is that people think, “I must achieve the results quickly, I cannot wait more than 5 or 6 years. Otherwise, I don’t like it.” But otherwise, after 6 years what do you have in life? You have nothing else. You cannot achieve the results of the Dharma practice within 6 years. You simply cannot. But still you are doing something meaningful. After 6 years, if you have another goal which you could achieve, then forget the Dharma and chose the other one. But the sentient beings’ life has no other goal besides enlightenment. I am not trying to discourage you from being human, but there is no other thing to do in life. You can try to get rich, but then what? Suppose you can be a successful politician, become a president or something like that, but then what? The problem is the same, isn’t it? There is no other goal to achieve. Dharma is the best. That’s why I say that even if you are a slow mover, still, Dharma brings more meaning than anything else.

The buddhas have abandoned every possible fault or obscuration and through great realizations achieved the pure vision.

 In this degenerated era, there are some people who consider Guru Rinpoche as their enemy and try to suppress  him,but in actual fact, there are no such things as suppressing and harm on him since he had accomplished the rainbow body of wisdom. Therefore, no harm can be done to Guru Rinpoche. ~~ HH PENOR RINPOCHE

His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje

Nothing is intrinsically or ultimately bad. Any situation that arises is only relatively good or bad based on many factors, including—most significantly—how you perceive the situation and how you respond to it.

Ogyen Trinley Dorje, 

Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche

Faith alone never stops problems; understanding knowledge-wisdom always does. Lord Buddha himself said that belief in Buddha was dangerous; that instead of just believing in something, people should use their minds to try to discover their own true nature.

 Lama Zopa Rinpoche

His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje

"What we call compassion is the wish or desire to be capable of protecting sentient beings from suffering,” he began. “We could call it a sense of determination, a sense of courage or resolve. That is compassion. It is not merely something intellectual that belongs to the brain or that sphere of our experience. But rather it is a powerful heartfelt feeling or quality, one that must be sincere.              This is how I see it.”

— His Holiness Gyalwang Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje

Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö

The bloom of a handsome youthful body withers with age. Despite your wishes, you’ll experience the pain of disease, And, with a final rasping cough, you’ll pass away. Even now, the time for this draws near. Son, Lodrö, think about it well! Jamyang Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö

Kyabje Chadral Sangye Dorje

To obtain real peace and happiness in this world one has simply to follow the path of ahimsa - nonviolence - which naturally is common to all the religions of the world. If we do not like to experience any pain or suffering of any kind, how can we expect any other creature - whether big or small - to feel otherwise?

There is no better prayer or worship we can offer to Lord Buddha than being thoughtful, kind, compassionate and abstaining from taking the life of any fellow human being, animal, bird, fish or insect.

HE DILGO KHYENTSE RINPOCHE

"Do not forget the Lama

Pray to him at all times.

Do not forget death

Persist in Dharma.

Do not be carried away by thoughts 

Watch the nature of mind.

Do not forget sentient beings

With compassion dedicate your merit to them." — His Holiness Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Heart drops of dharmakaya

Then, thinking that you must stop desire for samsara,

ask what is the purpose of so much attachment? You

need to ask why you have this desire. Imagine that you

are naked and born in hell, screaming and suffering as if you are actually there. Then imagine that you are born

in the realm of the hungry ghosts (pretas) with endless

hunger and want. Imagine you are born in the animal

realm, doing as animals do. Then think that you are born

as a human with servants—imagine that life; then as a

titan (asura) fighting with another—what is the purpose

of that? Finally imagine that you are born as a god (deva)

and spending life in leisure without thinking of the next

life—what is the purpose of this? Imagine that you are

circulating from one realm to the next. Do whatever

comes to your mind—in vision or imagination.

Then imagine what it is like to be a yidam (tutelary

deity); or that you are in Shambhala and are teaching the

bodhisattvas; or in the tantric realms with the siddhas as

disciples; or in Sukhavati or Olmo Lungring teaching Dzog-

pachenpo. Pretend that you are actually doing this. Finally

dissolve all visions into the natural state. What is left?

Then dissolve even your thought itself into the natural

state so there is nothing left. Then you will realise that

everything is made by your thought—everything comes

from there. You have to realise how things are created.

You must practice this seriously for at best three months,

or at least one month.

Namkha

NAMKHÁ is a special item made of wooden sticks and colored threads, to harmonize personal energy of individual, strengthen protection and attract good luck.

Namkha were used in rituals of the ancient shamanic tradition Bon - pre-Buddhist religion of Tibet. Similar items with some magical properties exist in various cultures all around the world, but in most places the deep knowledge of their practical application is lost, and such items are made just as a kind of traditional amulets, ritual decoration or ethnic souvenirs for tourists.
