“The original mind is something that is vast and unfathomable. It is like the depth and breadth of the ocean, as opposed to wave-like sensations rippling on the surface.”

—Ajaan Paññāvaddho

"Look into the awakened mind of your own awareness! It has neither form nor color, neither center nor edge. At first, it has no origin but is empty. Next, it has no dwelling place but is empty. At the end, it has no destination but is empty. This emptiness is not made of anything and is clear and cognizant. When you see this and recognize it, you know your natural face."

— Padmasambhava

”There is no separation between the aware space and ourselves. It is all one substance. It is not at a distance from us. And nobody is excluded from this space. This aware beingness is what we all are.”

“While awareness is watching awareness,

Though there is nothing to see, it is vividly clear;

Uncontrived, free, and at ease in that state,

Rest naturally, simply undistracted.”

—Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

“All thought, feeling and perception appears in awareness. They have no existence apart from awareness. Just like waves arise and set in the sea, so do all thoughts arise and set in you. Thoughts are only vibrations in awareness; they are made of awareness. There is only one substance, one essence. There is only radiant, cognizing emptiness shining in all directions. That is all. You are that.”

—John Wheeler

“‘Emaho!’ is the shortest Dzogchen teaching. The word means ‘wondrous,’ ‘amazing,’ ‘far-out,’ ‘fantastic.’It expresses the joy and wonder—amazement, really—of discovering within ourselves and our world the radiant splendor of our innate natural state directly perceived by our own eyes, the great completeness, wholeness, and oneness of all that is.”

—Lama Surya Das
