Physical discomfort has a mental or emotional component;
when the mind is not at ease,
the body cannot be relaxed.When our bodies are completely loose and relaxed,
the energy within our cells begins to flow smoothly and naturally
throughout our whole system.This energy manifests as balance, joy,
or even love.Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
Kum Nye Relaxation
The Joy of Beinglove.
Our inability to feel complete in ourselves,
to simply *be*,
compels us to spend much of our time
looking for something in a restless, hungry way –
friends, distractions, comfort, entertainment, even knowledge.When body and mind are in perfect balance,
we are whole and complete.Nothing is missing.
Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
So remind yourself daily:
There is beauty you have not yet seen.
There is sound that carries consciousness into heavenly spheres.
There is fragrance more exquisite than the rarest incense.
There is joy that expands beyond ecstacy and dissolves the seeds of suffering.
You deserve to experience all of these treasures and manifest their significance for humanity.
Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
The yoga of Kum Nye unifies the different aspects of our being and
makes us whole.Fully in touch with our own bodies and minds,
we rely on our own resources for happiness.Free of neediness, we can be a good friend to self and others.
Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
If you appreciate
the value of your body/mind embodiment
and learn how to nurture it well,
Kum Nye will show you
how to enter the heart of your being
and cultivate your inner riches more fully.Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
Kum Nye is our greatest treasure, a right to be cultivated and embodied, a heritage to be revitalized and expressed through our attitudes and actions.
It is because of the knowledge preserved in Kum Nye that the Buddha is a symbol of universal peace and the Dharma is a symbol of healing and transformation.
We cannot let this knowledge die.
— Tarthang Tulku
The Joy of Being
If we cultivate our inner treasures,
they will reward us with bliss, joy and happiness.Wherever we go,
we can dwell serene and content,
nourished by pleasure and
satisfied by meaningful intimacy with ourselves, others,
and the environment we inhabit.Tarthang Tulku Rinoche
The Joy of Being
Our human faculties have wondrous qualities that can transform the pressures and frustrations of ordinary existence into the bliss of the heaven realms here and now.
Our body is our vehicle,
and our sense faculties can open widows to
a paradise of unimaginable beauty.Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
The deep relaxation of Kum Nye
gives ease to the mind,
relieving it of the busyness
that ties up so much of our mental energy,
and attuning it to what supports
the whole of our being.Pathways to joy and meaning open;
we make better wishes,
and mind cooperates in bringing them to being.Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
The Joy of Being
Trust your experience
and follow the deepening current of meditation.When feeling arises, breathe into it and let it open up.
Do not fixate on it, and do not ignore it.
Relax completely.
Relax the interpreters,
relax the judgmental thinking,
dialogue-making observers,
and relax the radar-like sensitivity
that feeds this speedy jumping quality.Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche
