If we meditate with wholehearted openness, it can make a difference even in a weekend. But we have to keep going.

It can be so empowering for us to understand, even on a conceptual level, that we are enlightened in our true nature

Amid our difficulties and struggles, it can be so helpful to have a focal point. 

In those dark days, all I had to guide and console me was the wisdom light of Buddhism in my heart.

Generally, we go through life with little awareness of what we are doing, let alone the peaceful and joyful nature of our lives. 

Jigme Gyalwe Nyugu recounts a pilgrimage he made in his youth with his teacher and Dharma brother, the First Dodrupchen Rinpoche

Even today, when I remember that experience from more than four decades ago, I feel joy and completeness.

If we do not trust in the power of our meditation to heal, its strength and energy will be weak.

A common meditation long prescribed as part of monastic training in Tibet focuses on the impermanence of the body. 

When I talk about peace, people sometimes mistakenly think that this means detaching yourself from the stream of life. 

In healing, no emotion is wrong needs to be denied. 

Devotional meditation is a means of awakening and expressing our own inner resources, which are essential for healing.
