Chogyam Trungpa
Buddhism doesn't tell you what is false and what is true but it encourages you to find out for yourself.
Chogyam Trungpa
Our path is sometimes rough and sometimes smooth nonetheless, life is a constant journey... whatever we do is regarded as our journey, our path. That path consists of opening oneself to the road, opening oneself to the steps we are about to take.
Chogyam Trungpa
To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.
Chogyam Trungpa
