More quotes by 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
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
Becoming awake involves seeing our confusion more clearly.
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
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 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
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
Whether we eat, sleep, work, play, whatever we do life contains dissatisfaction, pain. If we enjoy pleasure, we are afraid to lose it we strive for more and more pleasure or try to contain it. If we suffer pain we want to escape it. We experience dissatisfaction all the time. All activities contain dissatisfaction or pain, continuously.
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
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
To be a warrior is to learn to be genuine in every moment of your life.
Chogyam Trungpa
Compassion automatically invites you to relate with people because you no longer regard people as a drain on your energy.
Chogyam Trungpa
A great deal of chaos in the world occurs because people don't appreciate themselves. Having never developed sympathy or gentleness toward themselves, they cannot experience harmony or peace within themselves, and therefore, what they project to others is also inharmonious and confused.
Chogyam Trungpa
Artistic vision comes from a mind clear enough to fall in love with what we see.
Chogyam Trungpa
The everyday practice is simply to develop a complete acceptance and openness to all situations and emotions and to all people, experiencing everything totally without mental reservations and blockages, so that one never withdraws or centralizes into oneself.
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
You must personally accept the responsibility of improving your own life.
Chogyam Trungpa
The ideal of warriorship is that the warrior should be sad and tender, and because of that, the warrior can be very brave as well.
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
We must see with our own eyes and not accept any laid-down tradition as if it had some magical power in it.
