More quotes by 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
We are threatened by the now so we jump to the past or the future.
Chogyam Trungpa
The courage to work with ourselves comes as basic trust in ourselves, as a sort of fundamental optimism.
Chogyam Trungpa
Elegance means appreciating things as they are. There is a sense of delight and of fearlessness. You are not fearful of dark corners.
Chogyam Trungpa
Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness. It comes from letting the world tickle your heart, your raw and beautiful heart. You are willing to open up, without resistance or shyness, and face the world. You are willing to share your heart with others.
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.
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
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
Chogyam Trungpa
The emphasis on practice is because it is the only time in your life you can steer your karmic situation.
Chogyam Trungpa
The ideal of helping is to make others independent of you. You help them to become more independent rather than making them addicted to you.
Chogyam Trungpa
Artistic vision is having the clarity to fall in love with what you see.
Chogyam Trungpa
As long as we relate with our underlying primordial intelligence and as long as we push ourselves a little, by jumping into the middle of situations, then intelligence arises automatically.
Chogyam Trungpa
we must continue to be open in the face of great opposition. No one is encouraging us to be open and still we must peel away the layers of the heart.
Chogyam Trungpa
Sanity is permanent, neurosis is temporary.
Chogyam Trungpa
We should see money in terms of the expenditure of energy and how we are going to transmute that energy into a proper use.
Chogyam Trungpa
We must see with our own eyes and not accept any laid-down tradition as if it had some magical power in it.
Chogyam Trungpa
When we hide from the world in this way, we feel secure. We may think we have quieted our fear, but we are actually making ourselves numb with fear. We surround ourselves with our own familiar thoughts, so that nothing sharp or painful can touch us.
Chogyam Trungpa
When you experience your wisdom and the power of things as they are, together, as one, then you have access to tremendous vision and power in the world. You find that you are inherently connected to your own being. That is discovering magic.
Chogyam Trungpa
Becoming awake involves seeing our confusion more clearly.
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
