How things truly are...


"Milarepa said, “I do not study what is written with black ink.” 
Rather, Milarepa studied everything as it actually is. We can 
also just look around and see how things are. All living beings 
are born, grow up, age, become sick, and pass away. We can 
observe the consequences of actions and what is painful in all 
different ways. All this is observable if we pay attention. We 
can also see what is truly valuable; a precious human body 
which can lead us to embrace a spiritual path by understanding 
what it means to cultivate spiritual qualities and to practice 
with a lot of energy, enthusiasm and perseverance. That is a 
special way of studying the Dharma through developing an 
understanding how things truly are."
