Wrong awarenesses cloud our judgement and make us see the impure as pure, the pure as impure, the existent as non-existent, and the non-existent as existent.

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, “How to Understand the Mind”

There is an enormous difference between the thoughts “I am feeling bad” and “Unpleasant feelings are arising in my mind.”

When we identify with our feelings, we make them bigger and more solid than they are, and it becomes far more difficult to let the unpleasant feelings go.

On the other hand, when we learn to view our feelings in a more detached way, seeing them simply as waves in the ocean of our mind, they become less frightening and much easier to deal with constructively.

For as long as we are in conflict with life’s difficulties, thinking that things should be different from the way they are and blaming circumstances or other people for our unhappiness, we will never have the clarity or spaciousness of mind to see what it is that is really binding us [to samara].

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, “How to Solve Our Human Problems”

With no one to test our patience, it will never improve; and without perfecting our patience we can never attain enlightenment.

It is therefore a mistake to think that a difficult person can interrupt our Dharma practice.

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, “How to Solve Our Human Problems”

Whenever we see others engaged in virtuous activity we should rejoice and give them praise or talk about their good qualities to others.

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, “Meaningful to Behold”

If we regard all living beings as our mothers, we will find it easy to develop pure love and compassion, our everyday relationships will become pure and stable, and we will naturally avoid negative actions such as killing or harming living beings.

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, “The New Meditation Handbook”

10/27/2026

When we develop real patience our mind will be as stable as a mountain and as calm as the depths of an ocean.

- Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Patience is a mind that is able to accept, fully and happily, whatever occurs.

It is much more than just gritting our teeth and putting up with things.
