Today is Chökhor #Duchen, the day when the Buddha first taught—turned the Wheel of #Dharma. Due to this, many will read and reflect on the 12 Deeds of the #Buddha, and one common way of doing so is by reading the Praise of Twelve Deeds by #Nagarjuna.

Since all the advances we have these days still cannot bring peace of mind, it is the appreciation of this which has given rise to a spontaneous interest in the precious teachings of the Buddha Dharma or the true nature of mind. #karmapa #16karmapa #kagyu

If u practice steadily, with joyful perseverance, ur mind will gradually become more stable, like a candle in a windless place. But if u practice sporadically, progress will be difficult, like trying to heat water by repeatedly removing it from the fire. #Kyabje #DilgoKhyentse #Rinpoche #consistency

Milk is permeated by butter, but if you don't churn it, it will not turn into butter. Even though you know that your own mind is Buddhahood, if you do not meditate, it will not become Buddhahood. Know this meaning and practice it!

Just knowing that attachment is emptiness is far from sufficient, we still have to attain our personal realization. This is akin to someone having read all about how to drive a car but has never gotten behind the wheel. He really still does not know how to drive. - #jigmephuntsokrinpoche #larunggar
