Happiness and Suffering

Happiness and Suffering

by Mipham Rinpoche

Happiness and suffering are equal by their very nature;
Dharma and non-Dharma are empty of essential identity.
As long as the movement of thoughts is not activated,
Everything is just like space, beyond benefit and harm.

While remembering Tulku Rinpoche, this verse arose in my mind on the twenty-third day of the first month of the Water Dragon year.[1]
