Text Quotes
It’s easier to put on a pair of shoes than to wrap the earth in leather  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Delight in itself is the approach of sanity. Delight is to open our eyes to the reality of the situation rather than siding with this or that point of view  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) A great deal of the chaos in the world occurs because people don’t appreciate themselves  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) As long as a person is involved with warfare, trying to defend or attack, then his action is not sacred; it is mundane, dualistic, a battlefield situation  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) As in music, when we hear the crescendo building, suddenly if the music stops, we begin to hear the silence as part of the music  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) 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 Quotes) We say that the sun is behind the clouds, but actually it is not the sun but the city from which we view it that is behind the clouds. If we realized that the sun is never behind the clouds we might have a different attitude toward the whole thing  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Anything that is created must sooner or later die. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) What the warrior renounces is anything in his experience that is a barrier between himself and others. In other words, renunciation is making yourself more available, more gentle and open to others  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) The way of cowardice is to embed ourselves in a cocoon, in which we perpetuate our habitual patterns. When we are constantly recreating our basic patterns of habits and thought, we never have to leap into fresh air or onto fresh ground  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Our life is an endless journey; it is like a broad highway that extends infinitely into the distance. The practice of meditation provides a vehicle to travel on that road. Our journey consists of constant ups and downs  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) For the very reason that we expect things to be good and beautiful, they won’t be. In genuine spirituality, we don’t look for bliss  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) The charnel ground is that great graveyard in which the complexities of samsara and nirvana lie buried  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Sanity lies somewhere between the inhibitions of conventional morality and the looseness of the extreme impulse  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Helping others is a question of being genuine and projecting that genuineness to others. This way of being doesn’t have to have a title or a name particularly. It is just being ultimately decent  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Good and bad, happy and sad, all thoughts vanish into emptiness like the imprint of a bird in the sky  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) There is no need to struggle to be free; the absence of struggle is in itself freedom  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) The challenge of warriorship is to step out of the cocoon, to step out into space, by being brave and at the same time gentle  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Nowness or the magic of the present moment is what joins the wisdom of the past with the present  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Mindfulness is like a microscope; it is neither an offensive nor defensive weapon in relation to the germs we observe through it. The function of the microscope is just to clearly present what is there  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) In the practice of sitting meditation you relate to your daily life all the time. Meditation practice brings our neuroses to the surface rather than hiding them at the bottom of our minds. It enables us to relate to our lives as something workable  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) The point is not to convert anyone to our view, but rather to help people wake to their own view, their own sanity  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Begin to build up confidence and joy in your own richness. That richness is the essence of generosity. It is the essence of resourcefulness ; that you can deal with whatever is available around you and not feel poverty stricken  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) The complexities of life situations are really not as complicated as we tend to experience them  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) If you must begin then go all the way, because if you begin and quit, the unfinished business you have left behind begins to haunt you all the time  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) 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 Quotes) Facing yourself is a question of honesty rather than condemning yourself. Good or bad the idea is simply to face the facts. Just see the simple, straightforward truth about yourself without cutting yourself down  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) Artistic vision comes from a mind clear enough to fall in love with what we see  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes) 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 Quotes) Sit and do nothing. Every once in a while a golden fish swims by and lays her golden eggs. You’ll know  (Chogyam Trungpa Quotes)
