Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

[Note: I will be away from my desk from December 6 until January 3rd. I 
have left  quotes to be sent out in my absence. However, from December 16 
to January 3rd, there will be some interruption in sending out the quotes. 
I hope to send a few from the road. Wishing you all a good end of year.

CRAZY WISDOM

The spiritual force of Padmasambhava [who brought Buddhism to Tibet] is a 
direct message that no longer knows any question. It just happens. There is 
no room for interpretations. There is no room for making a home out of 
this. There is just spiritual energy going on that is real dynamite....Can 
you imagine being hit by love and hate at the same time? In crazy wisdom, 
we are hit with compassion and wisdom at the same time, with a chance of 
analyzing them. There's no time to think; there's no time to work things 
out at all. It is THERE -- but at the same time, it isn't there. And at the 
same time, it is a big joke.

 From CRAZY WISDOM, pages 57 to 58.
