"At the fundamental level, everything is the same. In other words, this is what we call 'pure perception.' Everything is pure. Everything is love, compassion, wisdom, and awareness. It is pure. From that level, everything is equal. That is the practice of equanimity.
This equanimity is there with you — you do not have to create or make it. But you have to recognize this equanimity. To do that, you have to accept more and expand your mind more, again and again." - Mingyur Rinpoche

"In fact, we are one human family. Science tells us that the human family shares 99.9 percent of our DNA — that’s a lot. But thankfully, we also have different talents and ways of expressing ourselves. This is our “uniqueness.” If we think about building a house, one person designs it, another furnishes it, another landscapes it, and someone else paints it. And, of course, someone has to finance it.
If we didn’t have all these skills, it would be impossible to build a house. If we all had the same skills, what a dull world it would be! With our different talents and capabilities, we can help each other, create together, and support one another. That is a benefit of our interdependence. If we recognize this, we can benefit others by working together." - Mingyur Rinpoche, excerpt from Tergar Blog - "Our Unity and Uniqueness"

"Loving-kindness refers to the desire for everyone to achieve happiness in this life and the effort we put forth to achieve that goal. Compassion is the aspiration to relieve everyone from the fundamental pain and suffering that stems from not knowing their basic nature – and the effort we put forth toward achieving relief from that fundamental pain." -Mingyur Rinpoche, excerpted from his book Joyful Wisdom
.
Loving-kindness is wishing genuine happiness for all beings, while compassion aims to alleviate suffering by connecting deeply with others’ experiences.
These qualities open our hearts, allowing us to see beyond our habitual judgments and reactions.
When we nurture this openness, we begin to access our own innate wisdom and equanimity.
Through this, we don’t just transform ourselves; we also inspire those around us to find peace, kindness, and understanding.
To learn directly from Mingyur Rinpoche on how to connect with your innate capacity for love, compassion, joy, and equanimity, visit joy.tergar.org/.

If your meditation continues to be flat then you may need some more method: sometimes compassion and bodhicitta alternating with nature of mind, sometimes devotion with nature of mind, sometimes analytical meditation with nature of mind. These help the recognition of the nature of mind to go deeper and deeper.”
– Mingyur Rinpoche
