A Gift of Dharma for 7.24.10
by Danny Fisher
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:
The practice of meditation is taking your seat in the warrior’s world. Then, throughout your life, meditative awareness shows you how to regain your balance when you lose it, and how to use the messages from the phenomenal world to further your discipline. The practice of meditation also allows you to be completely grounded in reality. Then, if someone asks, “How do I know that you are not overreacting to situations?” you simply reply, “My posture in the saddle, my seat on the earth, speaks for itself.”

I also knew Trungpa Tulku, he seemed to love 2 things more than anything else, but I don’t put them in any kind of order, can’t say which is first and which is second, He loved his students and HH the Karmapa.
Pity he can’tbe here for our 900 year birthday. Of course he here in a way_he’s in Tibet.
