Here are some quotes from recent teaching descriptions:
TRANSFORMING ADVERSE SITUATIONS INTO THE PATH
“Motivation is one of the most important elements of Dharma practice, what is known, in Dharma, as Bodhicitta mind. When we confront adverse situations in life, it gives us the opportunity to transform our mind to Bodhicitta mind. This becomes extremely important on the path to liberation. The great Milarepa’s life story is an excellent example of this process.”
DEVOTION AND TANTRA
Chhoje Rinpoche: “Tantra is generally known as the swift path to enlightenment. In Buddhism, tantra is the transmutation of our passions and neurosis. So, in general, the essence of tantra is Bodhicitta mind. The key to the tantra is devotion. Leaping into a state of awareness without hesitation or doubt of our ultimate reality requires a fearless approach. That cannot be done without devotion – a fundamental trust in one’s own nature.”
