Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week

February 19, 2007

Yesterday was Shambhala Day, the celebration of the Tibetan (and Chinese) 
New Year. Cheerful New Year to you all!

IT IS ALWAYS MORNING

Warriors of the Great Eastern Sun never say good night. We always say good 
morning no matter what time of day it is, because we are not connected with 
the setting sun (indulgence in confusion) at all. We always say good 
morning because the Great Eastern Sun always shines. Great means that you 
are not infected by ignorance. East is where things always begin. The sun 
always rises in the east. And Sun is all-pervasive power and strength, 
which illuminate your responsibility, as well as your genuineness. 
Genuineness always shines through, like the sun.

 From "Attaining the Higher Realms" in GREAT EASTERN SUN: THE WISDOM OF 
SHAMBHALA, page 135.
