Rest in Natural Great Peace
Rest in natural great peace
This exhausted mind
Beaten helpless by karma and neurotic thought
Like the relentless fury of pounding waves
In the infinite ocean of saṃsāra.—Nyoshul Khenpo Jamyang Dorje, Natural Great Peace
Before you begin your day…
Interrupt your habitual patterns of planning and anxious rumination…
Take a moment of silence.
Allow yourself time and space to experience the Stillness hidden within that silence…
In this space, as beautifully said by Tibetan Lama Sogyal Rinpoche: the mind slowly settles, like a glass of muddy water.
That Inner Stillness, or Natural Great Peace, is always within us, underneath thoughts and emotions, and the more we connect with It, the stronger it becomes.
May you make time and space for Inner Stillness.
