#relevant today for sure The world is filled with power and wisdom, which we can have, so to speak. In some sense we have them already. By invoking the drala principle, we have possibilities of experiencing the sacred world, a world which has self-existing richness and brilliance- and beyond that, possibilities of natural hierarchy, natural order. That order includes all the aspects of life- including those that are ugly and bitter and sad. But even those qualities are part of the rich fabric of existence that can be woven into our being. In fact, we are woven already into that fabric- whether we like it or not. Recognizing that link is both powerful and auspicious. It allows us to stop complaining about and fighting with our world. Instead, we can begin to celebrate and promote the sacredness of the world. By following the way of the warrior, it is possible to expand our vision and give fearlessly to others. In that way, we have possibilities of effecting fundamental change. We cannot change the way the world IS, but by opening ourselves to the world AS IT IS, we may find that gentleness, decency, and bravery are available- not only to us, but to all human beings. Shambhala: The Sacred Path of the Warrior People in #Ferguson could really use some of this sacredness right now. Lets send our love.
