Sensations leave no imprints, like drawings made on water; People of Tingri, dont perpetuate deluded appearances. We are naturally attached to comfort and pleasure and bothered by physical and mental suffering. These innate tendencies lead us to seek our, maintain, and try to increase whatever gives us pleasure – comfortable clothing, delicious food, agreeable places, sensual pleasure – and to avoid or destroy whatever we find unpleasant or painful. Constantly changing and devoid of any true essence, these sensations rest on the ephemeral association of the mind with the body, and it is useless to be attached to them. Rather than being dragged along and trapped by your perceptions, just let them dissolve as soon as they form, like letters traced on the surface of water with you finger that disappear as you draw them.” Quote #59 from the book The hundred verses of advice of Padampa Sangye, explained by Dilgo Khyentse.
