When buddhas look at samsara with the eyes of their omniscience, they do not see it as an enjoyable place. They are acutely aware of the
sufferings of beings acutely, and they see how senseless are the pointless, temporary goals that beings try so hard to attain. It is important
to become more and more clearly convinced that the only thing worth achieving is supreme enlightenment.
Contemplating the sufferings of samsara, you will naturally develop a strong wish to be liberated from it. Rather than meaninglessly wasting your energy, you will concentrate on practicing the Dharma.

The Parinirvana of Trulshik Rinpoche

08/12/2026

Once you have left home, country, family, friends, and worldly work behind, you will have nothing to cling to. You will feel as free as the birds and wild animals. If, however, in your new and initially unfamiliar surroundings, you begin to forge new attachments, you will soon find once again that you are unable to practice the Dharma. Uke the moon, which is always on the move, do not remain in one place too long. As time goes on, it will become obvious through your practice of the Dharma that hatred toward anyone is a mistake. You will have nothing but good thoughts and intentions toward all beings. So, too, the pointlessness of becoming attached to anyone and anything will also become obvious, and you will see that all objects of attachment are like things perceived in dreams, like phantasmagoric illusions.
