The real enemy is ignorance, the self-cherishing thought, so there’s no reason to get angry with external conditions

A step-by-step guide on how to realize emptiness and cut the root of samsara.

How to deal with attachment, so we remain calm and clear when experiencing pleasure.

A teaching on the dualistic mind, excerpted from a commentary on the Manjushri Yoga Method

We have the potential to be totally free from the suffering of samsara and its cause, delusion and karma.

How to meditate on emptiness in whatever activity we are doing.

When the mind is under the control of disturbing thoughts there is no peace or happiness

In order to control anger, we must reflect well on its shortcomings

Things exist in mere name and are merely imputed on the base.

Recognizing and renouncing harmful thoughts and actions brings peace and a meaningful life.

Anger, attachment and ignorance are the cause of all our suffering

The I and the aggregates are merely imputed by the mind

Following desire always results in dissatisfaction.

The real hero is the person who fights anger and defeats the inner enemy, the delusions.
