Chatral Rinpoche: Just to Have This is Enough

Words of Advice By Chatral Rinpoche

The chances of finding a human existence are one in a hundred. Now that you have found one, if you fail to practice the sublime Dharma, how could you possibly expect to find such an opportunity again? This is why it is crucial that you take advantage of your situation.

Conceiving of your body as a servant or a thing to ferry you about, don’t allow it to rest in idleness for even a single moment. Use it well, spurring on your entire body, speech and mind to virtue.

There’s no better sign of accomplishment than a disciplined mind. This is true victory for the warrior who carries no weapons.

Just to have this is enough, but without it, all is lost.
