I’ve been studying “Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior” again this year. IMO, there’s so much to learn in that book. Chapter 5 explores the difference between looking and seeing. He says that our subconscious gossip can obscure our ability to see accurately. 🤔

Also, found this today on Mastodon. “In the garden of gentle sanity ,
May you be bombarded by coconuts of wakefulness

@muckz @annedraya I puzzle over this too. #Mahayana meditation training implies you should learn to disengage from the world. "First learn to stop being a nuisance to the world" as #ChogyamTrungpa put it.
Eventually true #compassion (a shared experience of unsatisfactoryness) should arise.
But what skilful activity to undertake while waiting?
I'm beginning to sense that opportunities to learn/contribute present themselves karmically; that you just need to be open to self-presenting invitations.

"There appears to be a conflict between survival and celebration. Survival, taking care of your basic needs, is based on pragmatism, exertion, and often drudgery. Celebration, on the other hand, is often connected with extravagance and doing something beyond your means. For the brave but gentle warrior, ruling your world means that you can live in a dignified and disciplined way, without frivolity, and at the same time enjoy your life." Chögyam Trungpa #ChögyamTrungpa #Buddhism

“You can’t be a good meditator, a good sitter, all the time. You can’t constantly keep up your humor all the time. You have your weak moments. Your weak moments show. Of course! Why not? That’s part of the celebration. Otherwise, there’s nothing to celebrate. If you don’t have your weak points, what’s left? Just blank white, without even a dot of ink on the sheet of your life.” Chögyam Trungpa #Buddhism #Dharma #ChögyamTrungpa
