More quotes by Chogyam Trungpa
Warriorship does not refer to making war on others. Aggression is the source of our problems, not the solution. Warriorship is the tradition of human bravery, or the tradition of fearlessness.
Chogyam Trungpa
Sanity lies somewhere between the inhibitions of conventional morality and the looseness of extreme impulse, but the area in-between is very fuzzy.
Chogyam Trungpa
To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.

What is needed is the constant unmasking of ego's strategy.
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.

By means of meditation, I feel that we have planted dynamite to transcend the world of confusion. So it would be good if you could practice meditation as much as you can, as much as physically and psychologically possible. You could become more clear and sane, and you could also influence the national neurosis in that way.

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
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
You can't feel the earth if you can't feel the space.
Chogyam Trungpa
There is no need to struggle to be free the absence of struggle is in itself freedom.
Chogyam Trungpa
You are actually doing something. You are getting into this process without making sure that what you're doing is okay. Things are actually taking place, almost of their own accord, very simply and directly. That is meditation.
Chogyam Trungpa
Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.
Chogyam Trungpa
The emphasis on practice is because it is the only time in your life you can steer your karmic situation.
Chogyam Trungpa
Language should fulfill your individual existence as a wholesome human being... Language should be more than just getting 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
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
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
The courage to work with ourselves comes as basic trust in ourselves, as a sort of fundamental optimism.
Chogyam Trungpa
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
