Whether we are in samsara or nirvana depends upon our state of mind. When we fail to recognize the proper nature of mind, that is samsara. When we experience the pure nature of mind, free from confusion, that is nirvana. Samsara and nirvana are states of mind, not two separate places. The practice of quiet sitting meditation, called shinay, brings about the stability of mind necessary to experience insight into the pure nature of the mind. H.E. Jamgon Kongtrul Rinpoche
