A good horse which can be ridden with joy
rLung is the wind principle – which is powerful and direct. rTa means horse – the energy which can be ridden. rLung rTa is a sophisticated energy. which is clean, decent, honest, honourable, and committed – a good horse which can be ridden with joy. The situation resplendent with rising rLung rTa is fresh and exuberant – but only eminently rideable once you have mucked out, groomed thoroughly, and cared for the tack with assiduous patience.

Transparent to ourselves
The experience of meditation practice is essential as a means of realising the view. It is only within the development of the meditational experience that we become transparent to ourselves. When we become transparent to ourselves, we can witness the mechanics of stylised perception – and only then can we free ourselves from restriction.

Dance with the situation
The dance costume of Vajrayana is demanding in terms of personal responsibility, integrity, and honour. One can don the costume and enter the dance – but to sustain the dance throughout one’s life requires a degree of familiarity with the pattern of motivation. Life resembles dance – and a piece of advice which Trungpa Rinpoche gave was to ‘dance with the situation’.
