My Book on Tai Chi Imagery
Don't demonstrate frivolous jealousy at your friends' success. If an acquaintance is wearing a new tie or a new blouse that you yourself would like, don't capriciously point out its shortcomings to him or her. "Yes, it's nice, but it has a stain on it." That will only serve to irritate him and won't help either his or your practice.

Extracts from Trungpa's key teachings.
'The problem is that the ego can convert anything to its own use, even spirituality'. His incisive, compassionate teachings serve to wake us up from this trick that we all play on ourselves, and to offer us a far brighter reality: the true and joyous liberation that inevitably involves letting go of the self rather than working to improve it.
Incisive teachings by one of the most influential Tibetan Buddhist teachers in the West. A central theme: giving up our hopes that meditation will bring us bliss or tranquility or make us better or wiser people or otherwise serve our ego's purposes, and realizing the liberation that is right here within our pain and confusion and neurosis.
