Whether or not we are connected with a spiritual tradition, religion, or specific teaching, if we can come to a greater understanding of how our minds work, we will become spiritual practitioners, no matter how we label it.
- Dudjom Rinpoche III Sangye Pema Shepa
"Mind" is what we inherit as soon as we attain a human body,
and yet it isn't a material thing.
Ultimately, its nature is inexpressible, ineffable.
Having a mind means being a conscious sentient being
with the ability to function.
On the basis of mind,
we experience pleasure and pain.
It is extremely important to work with and develop our minds
because the direct introduction of wisdom-awareness
takes place within the scope of mind, within the domain of being conscious..
