"Emptiness makes everything possible. If it were not for emptiness, nothing would be possible because everything would be fixed, solid. If everything is solid and fixed, then nothing can change, nothing will happen, nothing will improve, nothing will get worse. Emptiness explains why everything is always changing, why everything happens to everyone, and why we can improve. It explains why those who don’t see things clearly and don’t relate to things appropriately sometimes develop tremendous ignorance and aggression. All possibilities are based upon emptiness. Emptiness provides space for everything"
H.E The 12th Tai Situpa Rinpoche
"All that could possibly appear is created by the mind. Whether we speak of samsara or the level of omniscience, we are speaking of our own delusion. On the level of ultimate reality, there is no difference in the extent of qualities found in samsara or nirvana. All apparent reality issues forth as equal in nature. When this is not realised, we assign a low status to samsara, considering it negative, and a high status to liberation, considering it positive; samsara appears as suffering and liberation as bliss. On the level of ultimate reality, the sphere of experience of the buddhas, samsara is seen as the pure land of great bliss, and liberation is seen as the pure land of great bliss."

This site is dedicated to HH 14th Dalai Lama & HH 17th Gyalwa Karmapa Urgyen Trinley Dorje. May their activity be free from all obstacles. May the lineage Lamas who work tirelessly to preserve and spread the precious dharma remain until all beings have been freed from samsara. May confusion dawn as wisdom. May we never be separated from a genuine guru in this and all future lives. May all beings be Victorious. Sarva Mangalam!

The Buddha taught that how things appear to be and how things actually are is quite different. Our failure to distinguish these two truths gives rise to all sorts of mistaken thoughts and conflicting emotions. In the same way that to attain enlightenment it is necessary to train in establishing loving-kindness and compassion, it is also necessary to cultivate a proper understanding of the view, so that practice designed to prepare us for and introduce us to direct insight into the nature of mind can come to fruition. Ven. Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche
