samsara and nirvana

Samsara is mind turned outwardly, lost in its projections.
Nirvana is mind turned inwardly, recognizing its nature.

Le samsara, c'est l'esprit orienté à l'extérieur, perdu dans ses projections.

Le nirvana, c'est l'esprit orienté à l'intérieur, reconnaissant sa nature propre.

Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche

Nirvana

Without abandonnment, without accomplishment;
Without annihilation, without permanence,
Without cessation, without production...
This is said to be nirvana.

Sans abandon, sans accomplissement,
Sans annihilation, sans permanence,
Sans cessation, sans production...
Tel est réputé le nirvana.
