Chasing thoughts ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

Chasing thoughts ~ Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche was last modified: November 11th, 2016 by dorjeduck

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.


Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

from the book The Hundred Verses of Advice: Tibetan Buddhist Teachings on What Matters Most
