WARRIOR"S PHILOSOPHY<br><br>
The starting point is acknowledging that some kind of goodness exists in
us. It is necessary to take that arrogant attitude, positively speaking.
There is some feeling of upliftedness. We are worthy people, and we have
something going for us. We are not all that totally wretched. Of course,
we do have the wretched aspect that we have to face and look at. That is
absolutely necessary in order to realize the other part. But they don't
actually interact as counterparts. It's simply that you go through your
clouds, and then you see your sun. That is the basic approach, the basic
idea we should take towards the worthiness of our existence. That, by the
way, is the warrior's philosophy of looking at ourselves. <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unpublished seminar given by Chogyam Trungpa at the Rocky Mountain Dharma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>
