A mission

I had a mission  – and I had to commence that mission. I had promised Düd’jom Rinpoche I would establish the gö kar chang lo’i dé in the West – and to do that I had to be self-reliant, self-sufficient, self-contained, self-confident, and self-assured. I had to be all these things without reliance on a ‘self’ which was solid, permanent, separate, continuous, or defined.

Wang

Wang is given to mature the essential nature. Even though everyone has the essential nature of Küntuzangpo, without receiving wang it is not possible to receive the causes of accomplishment.

Raw

In order to be real and to dance ecstatically in the dimension of our own individual experience, we need to welcome the raw texture of whatever we may feel.

The habit of aggression

 

As one dissolves the habit of aggression in one’s mind, one begins to experience less aggression in the external world.
