Dreaming Life

Your thoughts are like clouds that hide the sun of wisdom. When you reveal your inner wisdom and understand your primordial nature, all of your relative experiences become dreamlike. The objects you experience do not actually exist as the solid entities they seem to be. These dreamlike illusions are obscurations that come from your mind, and you must work with your mind in order to remove them. The obscurations cannot be burned away with fire or washed away with water, but they can be cleared away with meditation and bodhicitta (awakened mind of compassion). Bodhicitta and meditation are the best cleansers. When you practice with bodhicitta you will be able to reveal profound treasures never previously available to you.

From: Opening to Our
Primordial Wisdom,
Khenchen Palden Sherab,
Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal


When we investigate phenomena,
We find nothing
has any true existence.
Everything is like a dream, a mirage,
A reflection, like the moon in water.
Nonetheless, everyone is fooled by taking things as real.

From: The Gateway
to the Ocean of Bodhicitta,
