Chogyam Trungpa Quotes About Ego

• ...Dejamos nuestra patria, nuestra propiedad y nuestros amigos. Abandonamos el terreno familiar que sostiene nuestro ego, admitimos la impotencia del ego para controlar su mundo y asegurarse a sí mismo. Renunciamos a nuestro aferramiento a la superioridad y a la autoconservación... Significa renunciar a buscar un hogar, convertirse en un refugiado, en una persona solitaria que debe depender de sí misma... Fundamentalmente, nadie puede ayudarnos. Si buscamos aliviar nuestra soledad, nos distraeremos del camino. En lugar de eso, debemos establecer una relación con la soledad hasta que se convierta en soledad.

This fundamental distortion may be referred to as spiritual materialism

• The main point of any spiritual practice is to step out of the bureaucracy of ego. This means stepping out of ego's constant desire for a higher, more spiritual, more transcendental version of knowledge, religion, virtue, judgment, comfort, or whatever it is that the particular ego is seeking. One must step out of spiritual materialism.

• In the process of burning out these confusions, we discover enlightenment. If the process were otherwise, the awakened state of mind would be a product dependent upon cause and effect and therefore liable to dissolution. Anything which is created must, sooner or later, die. If enlightenment were created in such a way, there would always be a possibility of ego reasserting itself, causing a return to the confused state. Enlightenment is permanent because we have not produced it; we have merely discovered it.

• The idea of buddha mind is not purely a concept or a theoretical, metaphysical idea. It is something extremely real that we can experience ourselves. In fact, it is the ego that feels that we have an ego. It is ego that tells us, My ego is bothering me. I feel very self-conscious about having to be me. I feel that I have a tremendous burden in me, and I wonder what the best way to get rid of it is. Yet all those expressions of restlessness that keep coming out of us are the expression of buddha nature: the expression of our unborn, unobstructed, and nondwelling nature.
