DON'T REGARD DOUBT AS AN ATTACK

When there is doubt, don't regard that as an attack. Welcome your 
doubt and then wait for the answer...Whenever there is doubt, if you 
don't actually feel it is an attack, or mismanagement on your part as 
a practitioner, then doubt becomes very clear and good on the spot, 
and doubt produces a lot of questions. You can then begin to look 
into the questions that doubt is asking, and get on with it.

Student: So the doubt makes things more ....

Chogyam Trungpa: Possible.

Student... more clear?

CT: Clearer, and more possible. Yes.

 From "The Mukpo Family," 1980 Magyal Pomra Encampment, Talk Two.
