Nature of the mind

When one realizes oneself, one realizes the essential nature of 
the universe. The existence of duality is only an illusion and 
when the illusion is undone, the primordial unity of one's own 
nature and the nature of the universe is realized, or made real.
~Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche

    Do not forget the lama;
    Pray to him at all times.

    Do not be carried away by thoughts;
    Watch the nature of the mind.

    Do not forget death;
    Persist in Dharma.

    Do not forget sentient beings;
    With compassion dedicate your merit to them.

~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
