Regarding the sutra teachings, the Buddha turned the wheel of Dharma three times during his life. The teaching in the first turning is particularly important for beginners, because at this stage most of us have only a preliminary understanding of Dharma and the contents of the first turning serves as a very good starting point. The Four Noble Truths is what the Buddha expounded in the first turning of the wheel of Dharma.

The thirty years that I spent at Larung Five-Science Buddhist Institute in Serthar was the best time of my life, a beautiful dream in retrospect. I’m forever grateful to my guru.

Here, one can feel the mind is peaceful and experience its true nature. Such a feeling always gives me a sense of lasting security and happiness.

A dream extended to thirty years is called a life. Thirty years of life condensed to a two-hour version is called a dream. A life and a dream are really just a dream and a dream within a dream.

The force behind the move to end suffering is a belief in the infallibility of karma, and accepting and transforming suffering into loving-kindness, by which we are enabled to do whatever is needed to benefit other beings.

Here, mind is clear like the spring water, spacious like the sky and gentle as the breeze. It’s a clear path from here to its very core. Let the journey of the mind begin.

Only when the horizon goes down can the sunrise be seen from the east. Only when discursive thoughts are reduced can it be possible to see the inner radiance of the mind.
