By means of meditation, I feel that we have planted dynamite to transcend the world of confusion.

Chogyam Trungpa
Artistic vision comes from a mind clear enough to fall in love with what we see.
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

Chogyam Trungpa
Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.
Chogyam Trungpa
Tantra is the hot blood of spiritual practice. It smashes the taboo against unreasonable happiness a thunderbolt path, swift, joyful, and fierce. There is no authentic Tantra without profound commitment, discipline, courage, and a sense of wild, foolhardy, fearless abandon.
Chogyam Trungpa
when one learns a different way of dealing with the situation, one no longer has to have a purpose. One is not on the way to somewhere. Or rather, one is on the way and one is also at the destination at the same time. That is really what meditation is for.
Chogyam Trungpa
Watchfulness is experiencing a sudden glimpse of something without any qualifications - just the sudden glimpse itself.
