FACING OURSELVES<br><br>
We have a fear of facing ourselves. That is the obstacle. Experiencing
the innermost core of our existence is very embarrassing to a lot of
people. A lot of people turn to something that they hope will liberate
them without their having to face themselves. That is impossible. We
can't do that. We have to be honest with ourselves. We have to see our
gut, our excrement, our most undesirable parts. We have to see them. That
is the foundation of warriorship, basically speaking. Whatever is there,
we have to face it, we have to look at it, study it, work with it and
practice meditation with it.<br><br>
From Talk One of "Warriorship in the Three Yanas," an
unpublished seminar given by Chogyam Trungpa at the Rocky Mountain Dharma
Center, August 22, 1978.<br><br>
