Having turned away from the pursuit of solitary peace The inferior attitude of practicing for the benefit of oneself Let me enter the path of the supreme outer, inner, and secret teachings And enable me to act vastly for the benefit of others - Longchenpa, Cloud Banks of Nectar

The meditation and the meditator are not found to exist anywhere Without its falling under the power of delusion, drowsiness, or agitation Your immediate unfabricated awareness becomes lucidly clear And this unmodified state of even contemplation is concentration - Padmasambhava

I am the lord of tempest and mountain, I am the Spirit of freedom and pride. Stark must he be and a kinsman to danger Who shares my kingdom and walks at my side. - Sri Aurobindo, Invitation
