The Arts lie behind everything we’ve ever done. - Tracts of the Sun

“The Arts lie behind everything we’ve ever done. We do not necessarily mean Art in the literal sense. We mean that which lies beneath the Arts: the space from which the Arts arise.”
― Ngak'chang Rinpoche & Khandro Déchen

Relaxation is necessary if one is to progress with shi-nè. - Tracts of the Sun

There are as many different approaches to nonduality as there are differences of nature and capacity. - Tracts of the Sun

“The basic illness of duality is the same in everyone and everything everywhere – but personalities and capacities differ. There are, therefore, as many different approaches to nonduality as there are differences of nature and capacity.”

The Lama’s job is to cut through the convolutions of interminable psychological and emotional process. - Tracts of the Sun

Wishing one hadn’t done something is the thing that helps us not to do it again. - Tracts of the Sun

“Wishing one hadn’t done something is the thing that helps us not to do it again. One can begin by asking “Does a practitioner do this?” One could ask “What would my Lama think of this?” One could conjecture “Could I tell my Lama what I’m about to do?” Put simply—if you have a Lama, or anyone you respect—don’t do anything you’d be ashamed to admit.”
― Ngak'chang Rinpoche & Khandro Déchen

Fear can be an aspect of compassion in simply being with ‘what is there’. - Tracts of the Sun

“One has to address one’s fear. Fear can be an aspect of compassion in simply being with ‘what is there’. One accepts the entire texture of what is felt. One feels it without acting out; lashing out; or, initiating a primitive bid for self-preservation.”
― Ngak'chang Rinpoche & Khandro Déchen
