But with discipline, you control any form of potential escape from reality. -- Chögyam Trungpa, from "The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma. Volume Two: The Bodhisattva Path of Wisdom and Compassion" +~ + The essence of all the songs can be epitomized by the four dharmas of +Gampopa. These are: (1) one’s mind becomes dharmic; (2) that dharma +practice becomes path; (3) in following that path, confusion is removed; (4) +having removed confusion, everything dawns as wisdom. + The first dharma is the ground, where our mind becomes dharmic so that we +and the dharma are no longer separate entities. We develop true renunciation +and have a sense of revulsion towards samsara. The second dharma is the path. +When our mind goes along with the dharma, the dharma becomes the path, and any +obstacles, whether extreme or ordinary, become a part of our journey. The +third dharma is the fruition. As the journey is taking place, the process of +the journey liberates us from confusion and anxiety. We are delighted by our +journey and we feel it is good. The fourth dharma is the total vision. When +we are able to overcome confusion and anxiety, even our anxiety is not +regarded as anti-dharma or anti-path. Cosmic wakefulness takes place. + -- Chögyam Trungpa's in the foreword to "The Rain of Wisdom: The Essence of + the Ocean of True Meaning"
