To protect this earth is to protect the very spirit of life

Every moment of our life is important.

We can't hire out our own inner work, but we can do the manual labor with delight and decency.

For a lot of us, the opposite of auspicious coincidence is obstacles. Life usually is a mixture of both, but as we begin to exhibit exertion, more and more auspiciousness happens.

When I was going into one of my first meditation retreats, I asked my father, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, for some advice. He said, "How you act when you're alone affects the rest of your life." Even in solitude, the ruler engages in virtue.

My books definitely are ambassadors, as you called them. They express what the vision is, what the purpose is.

Your life and your practice should not be separate. You bring your practice into experience. You bring it about.
