So cool you can create a representation of your safe place.

I'm having trouble coming up with a safe place.

Does it have to be a real place or can it be imaginary?

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.

Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.

Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.

~Venerable Lama Gendun Rinpoche~
