general musings

“Happiness depends on conditions perceived as positive; inner peace does not.” -Eckhart Tolle

“Clinging on to the absolute, however blissful or peaceful it may be, …is also a form of fixation, a very subtle egoic trap. To awaken to the absolute view is profound and transformative, but to awaken from all fixed points of view is the birth of true nonduality.” -Adyashanti “…and thus we come down from the peak of the mountain, to share with those who are curious, the summit view in all its full HD glory to our interested friends.” -Tenzin Jampa

“When your attention recognizes and is one with your IS-NESS….. All your life flowers… All your life blooms…. Becomes radiant.” -Mooji

“I can’t tell you what enlightenment or awakening is… that’s impossible to do.. but what I can tell you, is that I not longer believe in the thoughts my mind creates, and that… is a kind of freedom no guru can teach you.” -Tenzin Jampa

“The ego says, ‘I shouldn’t have to suffer’, yet that thought itself is what creates more suffering. When we free ourselves of the need to control, all suffering does also.” -Tenzin Jampa

“There is nowhere you have to be, no thing you have to own, no event that has to happen, in order for you to be completely and utterly at total peace right now. In fact, it can happen no other way.” – Tenzin Jampa

“An awakened being is a tremendously emotionally available being – someone who is not defending him or herself on the emotional or intellectual levels. Part of what happens when we awaken at the level of the heart, is that we experience reality, our selves, totally as it is. When we accept everything as it is, what naturally flows out is unconditional love…” – Adyashanti

“Reality is simply what is. When we resist the truth with our ego’s judgments and even condemn it, our suffering continues…” -Tenzin Jampa (April 30th, 2014)

“The Source is Infinite. Everything is perfect.” -Tenzin Jampa (quoted June 3rd, 2013)
