If you exaggerate the value of external objects

January 25, 2021

If you exaggerate the value of external objects, thinking that they are the most important things in life, you ignore your inner beauty and internal joyful energy; if you look only outside of yourself, you neglect your most precious human qualities — your intellect and your potential to communicate in higher ways. Thus, meditation shows you clean clear which objects of attachment confuse you and with which kinds of mind you relate to them. ~ Lama Yeshe

Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
