A CONTEMPLATIVE APPROACH<br><br>
According to the ideas of my teacher, Jamgon Kongtrul, the only way to
develop spiritual discipline is to accept chaos as well as orderliness.
His suggestions are very profound and totally ecumenical. To develop
genuine spirituality, one has to be dedicated to a contemplative
approach, a meditative approach. That doesn't mean that everybody on this
earth has to sit on a meditation cushion....We are not talking in terms
of being good meditators. We are talking about actually, personally being
able to identify with what you've studied, what you've heard, what you've
learned, what you've read. It is bringing all of this into your personal
experience.<br><br>
From Talk One of "Jamgon Kongtrul," an unpublished seminar,
Boulder, Colorado, November 1974.<br><br>
