Ocean of Dharma Quotes of the Week<br><br>
[Note: I will be away from my desk from December 6 until January 3rd. I
have left quotes to be sent out in my absence. However, from
December 16 to January 3rd, there will be some interruption in sending
out the quotes. I hope to send a few from the road. Wishing you all a
good end of year. Ocean of Dharma will return in "full force"
in January. Carolyn Gimian, Moderator]<br><br>

CRAZY WISDOM<br><br>
The spiritual force of Padmasambhava [who brought Buddhism to Tibet] is a
direct message that no longer knows any question. It just happens. There
is no room for interpretations. There is no room for making a home out of
this. There is just spiritual energy going on that is real
dynamite....Can you imagine being hit by love and hate at the same time?
In crazy wisdom, we are hit with compassion and wisdom at the same time,
with a chance of analyzing them. There's no time to think; there's no
time to work things out at all. It is THERE -- but at the same time, it
isn't there. And at the same time, it is a big joke.<br><br>
