A Gift of Dharma for 6.23.10

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.  This is it–a quote from his book The Myth of Freedom and the Way of Meditation that is used as the epigraph for Rodney Smith’s new book Stepping Out of Self-Deception: The Buddha’s Liberating Teaching of No-Self:

There is no such thing as spiritual practice except stepping out of self-deception and stopping our struggle to get hold of spiritual states. Just give that up, other than that there is no spirituality.
