That Thoroughly Purifies Mental Activity

All illusory phenomena which arise interdependently,
Have never arisen since the very dawn of time,
And so in emptiness--the lack of phenomenal identity—
They are beyond extremes such as sameness or difference.

Mipham Rinpoche, Jamgön

"Quando estudamos o budismo, estamos estudando a nós mesmos,
estamos estudando a natureza de nossas próprias mentes. Em vez
de focalizar em algum ser supremo, o budismo enfatiza mais os
assuntos práticos, tais como: como levar as nossas vidas, como
integrar as nossas mentes e como manter nossas vidas diárias
pacíficas e saudáveis. Em outras palavras, o budismo sempre
acentua o conhecimento-sabedoria experimentado e não uma visão
dogmática. Na realidade, nem mesmo consideramos o budismo
como uma religião, no sentido usual do termo. Do ponto de vista
dos lamas, os ensinamentos budistas estão mais no reino da filosofia,
ciência ou psicologia."

"The way we live and think everything is dedicated to material pleasure. We consider sense objects to be of utmost importance and materialistically devote ourselves to whatever makes us happy, famous and popular. Even though all this comes from our mind, we are so totally preoccupied by the external objects themselves that we never look within, we never question what makes them so interesting. However, this mind is an inseparable part of us; as long as we exist our mind is there within us. Thus we are always up and down. It is not our body that goes up and down, it is our mind—the mind whose way of functioning we do not understand. Therefore, sometimes you have to examine yourself; not just your body but your mind, which is the thing that is telling you what to do. You have to know your own psychology, or, in religious terminology, perhaps, your inner nature. But no matter what you call it, you have to know your own mind."

Lama Yeshe in Be Your Own Therapist

"Our problem is that inside us there's a mind going, 'Impossible, impossible, impossible. I can't, I can't, I can't.' We have to banish that mind from this solar system. Anything is possible; everything is possible. Sometimes you feel that your dreams are impossible, but they're not. Human beings have great potential; they can do anything. The power of the mind is incredible, limitless."
