Find Mind is the 3rd book of the BeginningMind Series. It is an introduction to the Dzogchen meditation of short moments.
'What do we need to know about the mind?
We need to know the mind is the only way to be happy.
We need to know the mind if the only way to be kind.
The mind tells us we are happy.
The mind tells us to be kind.
Without the mind, we would not know how to be happy.
Without the mind, we would not know how to be kind.'
Through the BeginningMind books, kids learn how to relax in mind to be happy and act with kindness and deep wisdom. The texts are for the children and adults of today and are written by Ziji Rinpoche, Dzogchen lineage successor of Wangdor Rimpoche. Wangdor Rimpoche asked Ziji Rinpoche to bring about the furtherance of Dzogchen. In line with this, at Short Moments for Kids, our mission is to give children access to their birthright of education in the nature of mind, by making Dzogchen books for kids.
All the metaphors in the books come from our Lineage's timeless wisdom teachings, passed down from one teacher to another like a chain of golden mountains.
'Happiness and kindness are like flowers in a field.
When you meditate, in short moments repeated many times,
like flowers spread in a field, your happiness and kindness and strength spread everywhere.'
'The books are very simple teachings on the nature of mind. The books keep it simple for us and for children. They really root the child in the nature of their own mind, in innate wisdom and in warm hearted compassion and collaboration.' - Ziji Rinpoche
