“Hold the sadness and pain of samsara in your heart and at
the same time the power and vision of the Great Eastern Sun. Then the warrior
can make a proper cup of tea.”
― Chögyam Trungpa
I just finished having a lovely conversation with a dear
friend who lives in the Philippines. We "meet" every Thursday early
in the morning (my time) for a cup of tea and philosophy.
This morning's conversation was about finding
ways to wrestle with our internal struggles and how to face external demands.
This year has been full of difficulties / changes / challenges for both of us
and so we try to figure out where we are at the moment. This often leads to
insightful discourse. Sometimes though our conversations just lead to a useful
quote that acts as a salve.
