Shambhala. The Sacred Path of the Warrior. By Chögyam Trungpa. Quotes V

 -Basic goodness is always connected with gentleness.

-Absence of doubt is trusting in the heart, trusting yourself. Being without doubt means that you have connected with yourself, that you have experienced mind and body being synchronized together. 

-Synchronizing mind and body has two stages which could call looking and seeing.

-Sometimes you want to close your eyes. You don't want to look anymore. But the point is to look properly. See the colors: white, black, blue, yellow, red, green, purple. Look. This is your world! You can't not look. 

-Look at the greatness of the whole thing! Look! Don't hesitate! Look! Open your eyes! Don't blink and look, look, look further.

-The more you look, the more inquisitive you are, the more you are bound to see. You have nothing to lose. You have nothing to fight against. 

-Synchronizing mind and body is also connected with developing fearlessness and brings the dawn of the Great Eastern Sun. 

-Whatever you do, death occurs. But if you have lived with a sense of reality and with gratitude towards life, the you leave the dignity of your life behind you, so that your relatives, your friends, and your children can appreciate who you were. 

-The vision of the Great Eastern Sun is based on celebrating life, appreciating our world. Because we appreciate our world, we don't make a mess in it. We take care of our bodies, we take care of our minds, and we take care of our world.
