living dharma

“So the more you practice, the more mindfulness is necessary. We depend on other sentient beings and need them. If there is no customer, there is no businessman. There is no politician without voters. And without sentient beings we cannot develop loving kindness and compassion. If people were always kind to us, we couldn’t develop patience. Just because someone tells you they aren’t spiritual, that doesn’t mean they don’t desire happiness. We should practice the four unlimited qualities of love, compassion, joy and equanimity.”

Khenchen Konchok Gyaltsen Rinpoche
