“I don’t climb mountain,
Mountain climbs me.
Mountain is myself.
I climb on myself.”
– Nanao Sakaki

Two people have been living in you all your life. One is the ego, garrulous, demanding, hysterical, calculating; the other is the hidden spiritual being, whose still voice of wisdom you have only rarely heard or attended to. As you listen more and more to the teachings, contemplate them, and integrate them into your life, your inner voice, your innate wisdom of discernment, what we call in Buddhism �discriminating awareness,� is awakened and strengthened, and you begin to distinguish between its guidance and the various clamorous and enthralling voices of ego. The memory of your real nature, with all its splendor and confidence, begins to return to you.
You will find, in fact, that you have uncovered in yourself your own wise guide, and as the voice of your wise guide, or discriminating awareness, grows stronger and clearer, you will start to distinguish between its truth and the various deceptions of the ego, and you will be able to listen to it with discernment and confidence.
– Sogyal Rinpoche

“In the name of honor,
men have acted ignobly.
in the name of peace,
men have declared war.”
my Teachers taught me:
“It is far wiser to remain honorable in silence
than to be dishonorable in speech.”

dear coach,
i really taf that if you had not broken your back, and rode professionally in the 80’s-90’s…that lemond might not have won
a single tour…and the face of nutrition would have been radically changed in the public eye..
oh well i guess for now..
us lucky ones will have in-joy our treasure..
while the other (s)tumble!
