Sogyal Rinpoche - What Buddha taught... in just six words

Sogyal Rinpoche says that the essence of the Buddha's teaching can be summed up in just a single line. Why is it so important to work with and understand our own mind? Because the real source of happiness and well-being lies within our mind, and not in the unpredictable and ever-changing conditions of the outside world. Our restless and impatient minds are quick to make endless judgments and concepts about everything in terms of what we like, what we don’t like, and what we don’t really care about at all. We think, “I like this,” and feel attachment or desire for it, or we think, “I don’t like that,” and we experience aversion, pain or fear towards it. We crave things we don’t have, fear losing what we do have, and get depressed at having lost other things. As our minds get tighter and tighter, we feel increasing excitement or pain, and find ourselves caught in an endless cycle of dissatisfaction. In the end, we spend half of our life chasing after what we like and want, and the other half of our life running away from what we don’t want to encounter. This is what the Buddha called dukkha—suffering. Visit us on https://whatmeditationreallyis.com
