In this teaching, Sogyal Rinpoche spells out the essence of the Buddha’s teaching, which the Buddha expressed as: Commit not a single unwholesome action, Cultivate a wealth of virtue, To tame this mind of ours, This is the teaching of all the buddhas. This means to abandon harmful actions, to adopt beneficial actions and, most importantly, to realize the true nature of our own mind. How can you dissolve suffering and discover the lasting peace of the nature of mind? By bringing the mind home through meditation. You just simply come home. Then you find contentment, you find peace, you find happiness, and you find love.
