Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week
February 17, 2009
UNDERSTANDING WHO YOU ARE
Propagating prajna, or your intellect, fully and thoroughly is a
characteristic of a dharmic person. That is to say, you should find
out and understand who you are and what you are made of. You should
find out what your mind is made out of, what your mind's projections
are made out of, and what your relationship with your world is made
of....The myth of original sin can be wiped out by realizing and
studying how your mind can be unwound by undoing what you are. There
are positive and good qualities, or basic goodness, in everybody.
From "Seven Characteristics of a Dharmic Person," in THE COLLECTED
WORKS OF CHOGYAM TRUNGPA, Volume Two, pages 488 to 489.
