The Collected Works of Chögyam Trungpa Collected Works: volume Two
“In the sutras, dharma is referred to as the “path” and “that which is knowable.” It is “passionlessness.” Passion in this case refers to the dualistic fixations of the ego, which has two aspects. The first aspect is the ego of conceptualized confusion—the notion of other, that form exists. The second is the ego of personality—if form exists, then there must be a perceiver of the form, an individual knower. These two aspects of ego are mutually dependent and constitute the samsaric mind. The see...ming existence of other is a continually repeated proof of the existence of I, which is actually another other. I does not exist but takes the seeming existence of form as its credentials. The existence of form, credentials, is what maintains the illusion of I. Thus, if a person is self-righteously claiming to practice the buddhadharma, is using his practice as credentials, then he is simply playing ego’s game. If a group of people do this together, then they reinforce each other in the same game.MoreLess
