LamaMarut

  1. Work hard to get to the place where you realize that working hard is part of the problem and not the solution.
  2. Low self-esteem is a mental affliction and should be eradicated, not coddled.
  3. There is no real difference between samsara and nirvana. They are two different perspectives on the same thing.
  4. Mark Twain: "I've lived a long life and seen a lot of hard times ... most of which never happened."
  5. Our fantasies about what enlightenment should look like keep us from realizing enlightenment.
  6. Your idea of who you are is as changeable as everything else.
  7. You have been given a blessed life like this for a reason.
  8. The Dalai Lama: "If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
  9. There's two ways to be rich ­ you can make a lot of money, or you can live simply.
  10. Disasters are a sign that you are not in control: “Oh, this is what could happen to me at any time, with a pilot like me at the helm.”
  11. One who has any faith in the divine should be ashamed to worry about anything.
  12. There are no ordinary people.
  13. It’s not a matter of whether you will serve. We all are serving somebody or something. To whom or what are you devoted?
  14. It’s impossible to feel grateful and depressed at the same time.
  15. Trying to change things in the moment is a sign of ignorance about how causality really works.
  16. Stop identifying with "ism-s." Jesus wasnt a Christian and Buddha wasn't a Buddhist.
  17. Gandhi: "The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
  18. The causes of unhappiness: Not getting what we want, getting what we don't want, and being separated from what we want to keep.
  19. Being in samsara is like being a gerbil continuously running on a wheel. Be the gerbil who said "no".
  20. Meditation has as its main purpose to bring us into the here and now.
