| Inspirational Quote: Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche describes a yogi wandering through a garden. He is completely awake to the splendor and beauty of the flowers and relishes their colors, shapes, and scents. But there is no trace of clinging or any “after-thought” in his mind. As Dudjom Rinpoche says: “Whatever perceptions arise, you should be like a little child going into a beautifully decorated temple; he looks, but grasping does not enter into his perception at all. You leave everything fresh, natural, vivid, and unspoiled. When you leave each thing in its own state, then its shape doesn’t change, its color doesn’t fade and its glow does not disappear. Whatever appears is unstained by any grasping, so then all that you perceive arises as the naked wisdom of Rigpa, which is the indivisibility of luminosity and emptiness.” Rigpa Glimpse of the day Teaching Link: Mingyur Rinpoche – Basic Goodness and Joy: View |
