Today’s dharma quote is yet another from the Vidyādhara, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche (1939-1987), whom I first quoted and wrote a little bio for here.  It’s from his The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation (by way of his Facebook fan page):

The spiritual path is not fun–better not begin it. 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. The path, as Suzuki Roshi mentions in Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind, is like getting on to a train that you cannot get off; you ride it on and on and on.
