That is the difference between compassion and attachment. -- Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, from "The Instructions of Gampopa: A Precious Garland of the Supreme Path", published by Shambhala Publications. +~ +Sometimes it seems as if the mind is outside someplace. We see all these +things outside. We see mountains or we hear echoes off of cliffs. We have +all these different thoughts of different places, and the mind seems to go to +those places when we think about them. But it only seems that way; the mind +is not really outside of us either. It dwells neither in external objects nor +someplace in the body--we cannot find any place in the body where it is. You +might then think that since it is not in the body and it is not outside the +body, it must be in the empty space in between. But if you look, you cannot +find it. We need to look and become certain that the mind has no dwelling +place--we must be certain that there is no real place that we can we can +point to and say, “Aha! That’s where it is!” + - Khenchen Thrangu, "Vivid Awareness: The Mind Instructions of Khenpo + Gangshar", published by Shambhala Publications.
