HEROISM TOWARD YOURSELF<br><br>
As a practitioner, some kind of heroism is necessary. That is to say,
it's not trying to proclaim yourself as better than somebody else. At the
same time, it seems to be good to have some kind of heroism within
yourself. It's not so much based on the example of each president in the
United States, who says, "I'm making history, and this is fantastic.
I won the elections," or whatever. But some kind of heroism is
needed, that you are doing what you are doing. It seems to be very
simple. It's heroism toward yourself.<br><br>
From "Trungpas Five through Ten," in THE MISHAP LINEAGE:
