Direct Experience of the Enlightened Mind

Kalu Rinpoche (the elder)

"Mind is poised in the state of bare awareness, there is no directing the mind. One is not looking within for anything; one is not looking without for anything. One is simply letting the mind rest in its own natu­ral state. The empty, clear and unimpeded nature of mind can be experienced if we can rest in an uncon­trived state of bare awareness without distraction and without the spark of awareness being lost."

In daily life:

"It is easy to re-recognize it (rigpa). You just have to drop thinking and it is right there. There is not a lot to be done."

Mingyur Rinpoche
