If you have a religious faith, then pray or meditate according to your religion. If your mind is still clear, reflect on the fact that birth, sickness, old age and death are parth of every human life and are inescapable. Recongnizing this and accepting it fully will help you to grow old more peacefully.

You cannot be a good mountaineer, however great your ability, unless you are cheerful and have the spirit of comradeship

The only aggressive attitude that is acceptable is recognizing one’s own talent and working with unshakeable determination, saying to oneself, “I, too, am capable and even if nobody helps me, I will succeed.”

Before Sangye Tenzin Rinpoche passed into Nirvana, he entrusted Palchen Rinpoche with all his responsibilities.

In his own words, "Palchen is myrepresentative and he is of great benefit to Dharma teachings.

Thus ChogyurLingpa¡'s prophecy will be fulfilled along with the wishes of myself."

When I meet someone for the first time, I tell myself that above all the person is a human being who wishes to be happy and not to suffer, just like me. Age, size, skin colour, and social rank do not really matter; there is no fundamental different between us. In this way, I can open up to that person as though he or she were a member of my own family, and all shyness disappears.

From one point of view it is a good thing to say little and to speak only when one has something to say. Language is one of the extraordinary characteristics of the human race, even though some animals such as dolphins and whales seem to have a complex form of communication.

But if we look closely at human language, we realize how limited it is. Concepts and words isolate things artificially, whereas the objects they designate actually have innumerable facets that are constantly changing and that result from a set of equally innumerable causes and conditions.

As soon as we name an aspect of reality, we mentally eliminate all other aspects and we designate the chosen object by a word that applies only to that object and this enables us to recognize it. Then, according to how that object is used, we establish distinctions: this is good, that is bad and so forth, when in fact it is important to attribute intrinsic properties to anything.

The result is a vision of reality which is at best partial and at worst plainly wrong. However rich language may be, its power is therefore very limited. Only non-conceptual experience enables us to apprehend the true nature of things.
