Sogyal Rinpoche Quote
Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so themind's own radiance is its thoughts and emotions. The oceanhas waves, yet the ocean is not particularly disturbed by them.The waves are the very nature of the ocean. Waves will rise, butwhere do they go? Back into the ocean. And where do thewaves come from? The ocean. In the same manner, thoughtsand emotions are the radiance and expression of the very natureof the mind. They rise from the mind, but where do they dissolve?Back into the mind. Whatever arises, do not see it as aparticular problem. If you do not impulsively react, if you areonly patient, it will once again settle into its essential nature.
