The Sacred Path of a Warrior.

Denne boken av Chogyam Trungpa er verdt å finne fram til.
(Boulder, Shambhala, 1984).

"A wise and enlightened Indian king once dreamed that his people would be poisoned and driven mad by evil rains. He warned his pepole about the coming catastrophe, but to no avail. When the rains came, everyone drank and went crazy, as predicted in the dream. So what did he do? He drank the water as well in order to be with them, and he went crazy too."

Gjenfortalt av Arnold Mindell; Working On Yourself Alone (Lao Tse Press)

En bok jeg leser nå til stor inspirasjon og glede.

Mindells fortolkning og parallell til det å være menneske i dag er fin:

"This story is a metaphor for those who want to leave this world, who have become depressed and tired of its madness and cannot see the purpose of living any longer......

The world may depress you, you may want to leave your body and this planet, you may not want to drink the insanity of this earth, but most of us have no choice; we have to do these things. We all have to breathe the air and drink the acid rain. We all have to live in the tension of war."
