 Lift the veil that obscures the heart, and there you will find what you are looking for.

Chogyam Trungpa, The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation

 When you relate to thoughts obsessively, you are actually feeding them because thoughts need your attention to survive. Once you begin to pay attention to them and categorize them, then they become very powerful. You are feeding them energy because you are not seeing them as simple phenomena. If one tries to quiet them down, that is another way of feeding them.

 As long as you look for a Buddha somewhere else, you'll never see that your own mind is the Buddha.

Dr Alex George

 It may sound a little silly, but I suggest giving your imposter syndrome a name. This is great for times when it pops up, so you can differentiate it from [...] your healthy thoughts. The sillier the name, the better, because it'll lessen is power over you. Eventually, you'll be ready to say, 'Oh, here's Mr Tiddlywinks again, trying to tell me I'm no good...'

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

 Kind hearts are the gardens, Kind thoughts are the roots, Kind words are the flowers, Kind deeds are the fruits, Take care of your garden And keep out the weeds, Fill it with sunshine, Kind words, and Kind deeds.

 “Like vanishing dew,

a passing apparition

or the sudden flash

of lightning ... already gone ...

thus should one regard one's self.”

Chamtrul Rinpoche

 “Just how the sun shines on to this world without ever discriminating, the compassionate wisdom energy of all of the buddhas pervades everything. No matter where you are, no matter what you do, this energy is always there, it is always with you. But just as you need to open your eyes to experience the light of the sun, you have to open your mind with unshakable trust, gratitude, and devotion to experience the blessings of the energy of the buddhas. The more that your mind opens, the greater the blessings that will energize your mind and power your practice all of the way to your enlightenment.”

Amoda Mas

 “Even when fear is deeply rooted in the body, it is not the enemy. It is a doorway—a pointer back home to your true self as unbounded being.”
