[DailyDharma] MEDITATION : Sunday Morning Quote

"It is easier to get enlightened than to stay enlightened. More people

have profound spiritual experiences than most realize. Having

momentarily intuited or recognized who and what one truly is (Reality

itself, things as they are, unmediated by thought), habitual dualistic

propensities do tend to resurface, obscuring that fundamental

existential insight and openness. One's intrinsic clarity and innate

wakefulness is again shrouded by, and prey to, the winds of karma,

the storm of emotionality and delusion. As a catalyzing agent, deep

continuous meditation and uncompromising self-inquiry is the great

highway to wisdom and transcendence. Wonderment -- wondering about

everything -- is the key. The Buddha himself reached perfect awakened

enlightenment through such a practice-path; we are fortunate to be

heirs to his legacy." ~Lama Surya DasFrom the
