“Our minds are so skilled in all kinds of manipulative games. They’re not only good at making other people believe in your lie, but they’re also good in making you believe in your own lie. Isn’t that miraculous? That’s a real miracle. That’s really difficult. At some point, we totally believe, really believe, our own projections. Whatever they tell us, we begin to believe it.”

— Dzogchen Ponlop Rinpoche
