As it is
May 19, 2008
“In this world, as it is, we can find a good and meaningful human life that will serve others”
These are the words of Chogyam Trungpa.
We don’t have to wait until we are smarter or slimmer or more enlightened, until we complete our degree or take that workshop or buy a car or start re-cycling.
We can begin now in the world just as it is, just as we are.
We can once again or perhaps for the first time consider our basic human goodness, the divinity in each human being.
All of us slip into periods of self-doubt and self loathing, a sloth with which I am familiar.
All our emotional turbulence comes from a disconnection with the reality of our own basic goodness.
The flame of goodness dwells within you, give it some oxygen, breath into it.
