The Four Reliances
Rely on the teaching, not the teacher.
Rely on the meaning, not the words.
Rely on the definitive meaning, not the provisional meaning.
Rely on primordial wisdom, not consciousness’
~ Shar Khentrul Jamphel Lodrö ~ The Realm of Shambhala

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour."

Through the power of awareness the afflictive emotions collapse, and this collapsing reveals their true nature, primordial wisdom. This collapsing or transformation is the wrathful deity.

‘’The transformation that occurs when the afflictive emotions are subdued with the sharp discriminating awareness is the arising of the wrathful deities. The actual nature of the afflictive emotions is primordial wisdom, thus the five poisons are the five wisdoms.’’

``When the great Gampopa had many spiritual experiences, he explained them to Jetsun Milarepa and was thus able to avoid deviations and continue to progress.’’

‘’If we allow water to remain still without agitating it, it becomes limpid and transparent; but if we stir it up with a stick, mud rises and the water becomes turbid. Likewise, leave the mind in a state of natural clarity, without interference, so that awareness remains limpid.’’- Dilgo Khentse Rinpoche -

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day 🪶 #IndiginousPeoplesDay
"Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet," "Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos—the trees, the clouds, everything," and the idea that "everything, everyone is part of your true home". #Buddhist

I wonder if Australian government officials will address the ongoing human rights abuses in the U.S.A. under the current regime, during their first “official meeting” with the Trump “administration”? 🧐

``Now the science of Cymatics reveals the beautiful, transformational patterns that these ancient sounds create when passed through water. As cymatologist Evan Grant notes, "Sound does have form and we have seen that it can affect matter and cause form within matter."
