i have this book...it's great..merle
I don't usually use quotes from Tibetan Buddhism. I find them much to mystical for me. This quote however I think is spot-on: "Sometimes when I meditate, I don't use any particular method. I just allow my mind to rest, and I find, especially when I am inspired, that I can bring my mind home and relax very quickly. I sit quietly and rest in the nature of mind; I don't question or doubt whether I am in the "correct" state. There is no effort, only a rich understanding, wakefulness, and unshakable certainty. When I am in the nature of mind, the ordinary mind is no longer there. There is no need to sustain or confirm a sense of being: I simply am. A fundamental trust is present. There is nothing in particular to do." — Sogyal Rinpoche commenting on a passage from the Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, Chapter 5
