Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

PERCEPTION AND PERCEIVER

The feminine principle is the perception of colors, directions, time. 
Thus it is the manifestation of the colorful aspect of the world. 
Without it, there is no perceiver of this. The perceiver is the 
masculine principle. In this framework, the masculine principle is 
not regarded as the master dominating the scene. Moreover, we are not 
saying that the feminine principle belongs to women and the masculine 
principle to men. Wherever there is a perceiver, that is the 
masculine principle; wherever there is a perception, that is the 
feminine principle.

 From "Femininity," in THE COLLECTED WORKS OF CHOGYAM TRUNGPA, Volume 
Six, page 565.
