"Why working with the mind is the only way to find true happiness."

"Bardo is a Tibetan word that simply means a "transition" or a gap between the completion of one situation and the onset of another. Bar means "in betwenn," and do means "suspended" or "thrown."

Sogyal Rinpoche

"When I meditate, I am always inspired by this poem by Nyoshul Khenpo:

Rest in natural great peace
This exhausted mind
Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought,
Like the relentless fury of the pounding waves
In the infinite ocean of samsara.

Quietly sitting, body still, speech silent, mind at peace, let thoughts and emotions, whatever arises, come and go, without clinging to anything.
What does this state feel like? Dudjom Rinpoche used to say, imagine a man who comes home after a long, hard day`s work in the fields and sinks into his favorite chair in front of the fire. He has been working all day and he knows he has achieved what he wanted to achieve; there is nothing more to worry about, nothing left unaccomplished, and he can let go completely of all his cares and concerns, content, simply, to be."
