Mind itself is nondual, unborn, and unceasing;
but the ideas you entertain, conceiving of it as something that is born and dies, create distortion.
The objects you perceive manifest in the empty mirror of mind itself;
but the influence of your fixation on their seeming truth, as you perceive them dualistically with attachment and aversion, creates distortion.

His Holiness the Twelfth Gyalwang Drukpa recently gave the following direct, pithy instruction:
"Practice and keep your mind constantly in the presence"
He continually emphasizes the wisdom and skills of living in the presence and putting spirituality into daily life and practice.
May we all support His Holiness's prayers through our practice.

“Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, your pain can become your greatest ally in your life’s search for love and wisdom.”
