Right living

"It is such a mistake to assume 
that practicing dharma will help us 
calm down and lead an untroubled life; 
nothing could be farther from the truth. 
Dharma is not a therapy. 
Quite the opposite, in fact, 
dharma is tailored specifically 
to turn your life upside down—
it’s what you sign up for." 
Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche 


What exactly is ‘right living’?

Well, it’s doing the stuff that ignites your fire,

being with the folks who make you laugh and cry,

‘Right living’ sometimes means being bored,

or losing it, at the right time, to the right degree.

Do you get it? ‘Right living’ is your life,

setting you up moment by moment to break free!
