The more one
understands the symbolism of Vajrayana, the more one understands that everyday
life IS Vajrayana – and, when that begins to become apparent, one’s life
commences to glimmer with limitlessness.
Empowerment
performs itself all the time: at the bus stop; on the peak of a mountain; in
the cinema; in the midst of a Finnish forest; in the bath; on Freak Street in
Kathmandu; on horseback in the Laughing Water range of the Rocky Mountains;
and, on the factory floor.
This
may sound banal, or profound, but the profundity of it is often too subtle to
see.
One
has to authentically understand the context of Vajrayana if one is to stand a
chance of everyday life exploding into symbolic meaning.
