"One's heartmind is like the sun: it has natural cognizance and the quality of brilliance. It reveals the tremendous open space that is the wisdom of one's own mind and is the clarity of this open view. Inside of that is warmth, which is compassion. Compassion is the essence through which all living beings are sustained. It creates harmony and provides the energy that makes things alive and warm. So the light present in one's own awareness is the heart of compassion. Being open-minded requires no effort
-just allow I to happen by being present." ~ Dza Kilung Rinpoche
