In the very profound sutras, it is said that non-seeing is to see this. Here, there is no seeing and no seer, no beginning and no end, just peace. Entities and nonentities are left behind. It is non-conceptual and non-referential. It is inexpressible, unobservable, unchanging, and unconditioned. When it is realised by yogins, afflictive and cognitive obscurations are relinquished.

When, from out of the primordially pure Dharmadhatu, suddenly Rigpa arises, and with it there is an instantaneous recognition, it is like finding a precious jewel in the depths of the ocean, no-one has created it - it is just the Dharmakaya.

For any individual whose mind is religiously evolved and free from the conditioning of religiosity and religionism; in other words, for one who has evolved with a creed, and thereby acts in accordance with a code, but not conditioned by a cult or community, Religion is not a threat to liberty, but a real source of liberty.

To put it another way, as long as we are experiencing a defect like jealousy or envy, we cannot experience loving-kindness. And when we are experiencing loving-kindness, we cannot experience jealousy or envy. The two cannot happen at the same time. To be jealous is to desire someone else's well-being and success for yourself. To experience loving-kindness, on the other hand, is to be happy for others and rejoice when you witness their well-being and success, whether it be of a material or a spiritual nature. Jealousy runs completely counter to this disposition. In a similar fashion, when you experience genuine compassion, you cannot simultaneously experience hatred, anger, or aggression. As long as there is the one, it will displace the other.

Rejoicing is habituating yourself to feeling happy about all the constructive acts of the Triumphant Ones, their spiritual offspring, and all wandering beings. This is a supreme method for transforming fathomless masses of positive force into something immeasurably great.

In the Mantra approach, with its many methods and few austerities, a person of sharp faculties and high intelligence may gather the two accumulations during all activities and never do even a trace of anything meaningless.

Even the darkness that has gathered during a thousand eons is dispelled by a single lamp. Likewise, in an instant the clear light of your own mind dispels the ignorance, sins, and obscuration that have been accumulated for eons.

The calmed say that what is well-spoken is best; second, that one should say what is right, not unrighteous; third, what is pleasing, not displeasing; fourth, what is true, not false.

Happy New Year 2020

A Happy New Near to all family, relatives and friends that journeyed with me for the past year.

To the teachers that guided me on my spiritual path and made me a better person, taught me to look at things with different perspectives instead of bias opinion. 

I sincerely thank all and value your friendship.

Happiness isn't something we need to find or achieve. It is the very core of our being.

-- Orgyen Chowang Rinpoche
