The biggest ego trip is getting rid of your ego, and of course the joke of it all is that your ego does not exist. There is nothing to get rid of. It is an illusion, as I have tried to explain, but still you ask how to stop the illusion. But who is asking?

“If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. This is the most basic kind of peace work.”

In a natural, uncontrived, spontaenously present state, Remain undistracted within the sphere of nonmeditation! Remaining like this, liberation occurs spontaneously, This itself is the awakened state! Padmasambhava

"The ordinary mind is the ceaselessly shifting and shiftless prey of external influences, habitual tendencies and conditioning; the masters liken it to a candle flame in an open doorway, vulnerable to all the winds of circumstance". Sogyal Rinpoche

The purpose of meditation is to awaken us from the deep sleep of ignorance—to awaken us to universal reality, not to our usual fanatic reality. Mantra touches a wider reality; that’s why it’s useful. Lama Yeshe

"Our job [as buddhists] is to develop confidence in the fact that our own true nature has exactly the same potential as that of the Buddha, and that all we need to do to mature that potential is follow Siddhartha's example and apply the right methods." Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche @buddhistsociety

Silence is essential. We need silence just as much as we need air, just as much as plants need light. If our minds are crowded with words and thoughts, there is no space for us. Thich Nhat Hanh @buddhistsociety

Every aspect of meditation is good. No matter how much you do, even if you don't seem to be getting any results, it's all good regardless. Even when you simply repeat the word buddho, it's good for the mind. When you're mindful of the breath, it's good for the mind. Ajahn Lee @buddhistsociety

The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there? Jack Kornfield @buddhistsociety
