Simplicity Itself
I wonder what the differences are between momentary nature, neutral nature, path nature and ground nature. It is important to investigate their meaning even though it is difficult to express. When I do try to meditate on them, my mind becomes even-minded, a sort of compassionate mind, because all my disturbing emotions become exhausted in momentary nature and my mind is clear and sharp, and pervaded by its own nature. What do you think about all this?
I think it is simplicity itself. I think it is self-liberation. I think it is not dependent on anything else. I think it is self-rebirth without any conditions. I think it is self-cause, self-condition and self-effect with no need for cause and no need for condition. I think it is self-effortless self-liberation, self-brought happiness everywhere.

Now is the time
Your mind is spinning around
About carrying out a lot of useless projects:
It’s a waste! Give it up!
Thinking about the hundred plans you want to accomplish,
With never enough time to finish them,
Just weighs down your mind.
You’re completely distracted
By all these projects, which never come to an end,
But keep spreading out more, like ripples in water.
Don’t be a fool: for once, just sit tight.
The Black Guru Rinpoche Statues Project
The black diamond-carved Guru Rinpoche statues, which contain iron beads, relics and scriptures, can last for hundreds of years in outdoor environment. According to Guru Rinpoche’s prediction, they can be placed on mountains, rivers or caves, in lakes or in the ocean around the world to suppress and resolve various disasters and wars, liberating all sentient beings in the six realms into Buddhahood.

Message from Patrul Rinpoche
Written by Patrul Rinpoche, December 21st, 2024
Good morning, Dharma brothers and sisters.
Today, December 21st, 2024, is almost the end of the year. Soon, the New Year will arrive.
But today is also a very special day, because it marks the beginning of longer days and shorter nights. This means that happiness will gradually increase.
For all sentient beings, may suffering gradually diminish. This is everybody’s wish.
