Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

FEMININE INSPIRATION

Feminine inspiration projects a world which it can regard as workable 
and friendly since it is its own creation.....An aspect of feminine 
inspiration is regarding what you have created as sacred. You have 
created Buddhism, Christianity, Sufism -- it is your production. 
Since it is fully yours, respect it, work with it. These teachings 
did not come from somewhere else; your own openness gave birth to 
them. Moreover, you gave birth to pleasure and pain. You built Paris, 
London, New York City. You produced the president of the United 
States. These things are the product of feminine inspiration.

 From "Femininity," in THE COLLECTED WORKS OF CHOGYAM TRUNGPA, Volume 
Six, page 564.
