Möpa means "longing" or "wanting," and küpa means "humility," +"respect," or "being without arrogance." With küpa, you are not pretending +to be somebody who has reached a higher level of wisdom. So in devotion, +longing and humbleness are put together. That state of mind brings openness +to the teacher and to the dharma. + With küpa, the longing of möpa does not become purely an emotional +indulgence or demand on the part of either the student or the teacher. The +devotion of küpa is the respect or sacredness that comes from that experience +of aah [the space before first thought]! Küpa arises because every highlight +in your life has always been touched by the sacredness of vajrayana, even +before you knew it. + -- Chogyam Trungpa, from "The Profound Treasury of the Ocean of Dharma, + Volume Three: The Tantric Path of Indestructible Wakefulness" -- 2.34.1
