quote:- grasping to a non-existent self, we misread our world and lose the true treasure of our mind. because of our belief in a self that must be preserved at all costs, ego controls our every mental, emotional, verbal, and physical act. although our wisdom mind is completely radiant at all times, we become like a homeless prince: a monarch who lives like a vagabond, unaware of his own inheritance. -dzigar kongtrul rinpoche
