Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

October 11, 2006

Please see information below on October book events, starting tomorrow, in 
connection with the publication of DRAGON THUNDER: MY LIFE WITH CHOGYAM 
TRUNGPA

DRAGONS THUNDER

Dragons thunder
Steeds gallop
Trees bow
Dharmic mind flashes.
In this world of awakened milk ocean
We enjoy the play of  indestructible vajra dance.
Unshakeable throne
Gentle smile
Tender touch.
We accomplish the disciplines of the three yanas [stages of the path].
Welcome, welcome.

Excerpted from an unpublished poem composed February 19, 1979.
