"So what exactly is Buddha nature? It is the sky-like nature of our mind. Utterly open, free, and limitless, it is fundamentally so simple and so natural that it can never be complicated, corrupted, or stained, so pure that it is beyond even the concept of purity and impurity. As it is said, "It is simply your flawless, present awareness, cognizant and empty, naked, and awake."--Sogyal Rinpoche.;Here is a portable collection of inspiring readings from the revered masters of Tibetan Buddhism. The Tibetan Buddhism Reader includes quotations from major lineage figures from the past such as Padmasambhava, Atisha, Sakya Pandita, Marpa, Milarepa, and Tsongkhapa. Also featured are the writings of contemporary masters including the Dalai Lama, Dudjom Rinpoche, Khyentse Rinpoche, Sakya Tridzin, Chogyam Trungpa, and others. Topics include cultivating compassion, letting go of ego, learning to become more alert and present in our lives, and developing a clear perception of our own true nature. --Book Jacket.;"While a sailor has a boat, he should cross the ocean; ... while a poor man has a wish-granting cow he should milk it; while a traveler has a superb horse, he should ride it to faraway places. Now, while you have a precious human life and a teacher who embodies the buddhas of the past, present, and future, think with great joy and enthusiasm how you will travel the highway of sacred Dharma, drawing ever closer to the ultimate goal of liberation and enlightenment."
