Enlightened Vagabond: The Life and Teachings of Patrul Rinpoche

Sashin's notes

A wonderful biography of the one-of-a-kind Patrul Rinpoche.

Here's an excerpt:

Patrul often pointed out the uselessness of worldly concerns and the inherently unsatisfactory nature of samsara. In particular, he emphasized the never-ending problems that came with owning possessions, saying;

"Don't you get it? If you've got money, you've got money problems. If you have a house, you have house problems. If you have yaks, you have yak problems. If you have goats, you have goat problems!"
