Don’t be an arhat, don’t be a bodhisattva, don’t be anything at all—if you are anything at all you will suffer.”

Delighting in Others' Success

I intentionally ask myself the question, “What would I gain from this person’s loss?” and it is quite clear to me that I don’t benefit at all. The true benefit is in stepping off of center stage, and experiencing the kindness of delighting in someone else’s good experience.

"If you constantly resist external change, how can you possibly change internally? You must let the external world become your training ground for your mind.

As Jigme Lingpa, a great master from my tradition, once said, 'If you can bring everything in your life to your path, your body will become like a retreat hut.'”

— Chamtrul Rinpoche

“We are here to awaken from the illusion of separateness...

True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There’s no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh
