“If we simplify our lives, we gain tremendous freedom. For example, there were great masters in Tibet who expressed the insubstantiality of true existence not only in the outer world of appearances but with their bodies as well. There were some realized beings whose bodies were transparent. They had no shadow. They lived in a house, but the house had no walls. The sunlight came right through the walls. They would sit or lay in space as if lying on a cushion or bed. The possibilities are limitless. Yet it all starts with beginning to simplify our lives, shedding habitual tendencies and conceptual fixations.” Khenpo Rinpoche

“Anyone who is willing to live the life I have led can do the things I do.” Fools Crow

“If you gain control over your mind, then even if you are at the point of death, you will understand that it is only because of a particular thought that there is an impression of dying - and that the nature of the mind is utterly beyond both birth and death. It would be excellent if you could gain this confidence.
So keep this little, essential instruction in your heart. Conviction and confidence in this is what we call the Dharma. If you vacillate and think of Dharma as something extraneous to you, thought up by somebody else, you will not benefit from it. Instead, do yourself a favor and get out of samsara.” Dudjom Rinpoche
