More quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
The basic wisdom of Shambhala is that in this world, as it is, we can find a good and meaningful human life that will also serve others. That is our true richness.
Chogyam Trungpa
You can't feel the earth if you can't feel the space.
Chogyam Trungpa
Compassion is not having any hesitation to reflect your light on things
Chogyam Trungpa
The point of meditation is not merely to be an honest or good person in the conventional sense, trying only to maintain our security. We must begin to become compassionate and wise in the fundamental sense, open and relating to the world as it is.
Chogyam Trungpa
The complexities of life situations are really not as complicated as we tend to experience them.

Chogyam Trungpa
Meditation practice is regarded as a good and in fact excellent way to overcome warfare in the world our own warfare as well as greater warfare.
Chogyam Trungpa

Chogyam Trungpa
Just fully being skillful involves total lack of inhibition. We are not afraid to be. We are not afraid to live. We must accept ourselves as being warriors. If we acknowledge ourselves as warriors, then there is a way in, because a warrior dares to be, like a tiger in the jungle.
Chogyam Trungpa
Anything that is created must sooner or later die. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it we have merely discovered it.
Chogyam Trungpa
The challenge of warriorship is to live fully in the world as it is and to find within this world, with all its paradoxes, the essence of nowness. If we open our eyes, if we open our minds, if we open our hearts, we will find that this world is a magical place.
Chogyam Trungpa
Good and bad, happy and sad, all thoughts vanish into emptiness like the imprint of a bird in the sky.
Chogyam Trungpa
People's creativity is very much alive, but when they get paid for their creativity, they often experience that as rather meaningless. Money as the reward for their creative process is very one-dimensional, a tremendous comedown.
Chogyam Trungpa
When we talk about compassion we talk in terms of being kind. But compassion is not so much being kind it is being creative [enough] to wake a person up
Chogyam Trungpa
We must begin our practice by walking the narrow path of simplicity, the hinayana path, before we can walk upon the open highway of compassionate action, the mahayana path.
Chogyam Trungpa
To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.
Chogyam Trungpa
It's easier to put on a pair of shoes than to wrap the earth in leather.
Chogyam Trungpa
Faith is the readiness to reveal whatever is concealed. You don't have to conceal doubts by putting on patches of self-confirmation. The readiness to be exposed seems to make the difference between ego's approach to spirituality and an enlightened one.
Chogyam Trungpa
The bad news is you're falling through the air, nothing to hang on to, no parachute. The good news is, there's no ground.
