Chögyam Trungpa
“Enlightenment is ego's ultimate disappointment.”
Chögyam Trungpa

Jasun Ether
“He’d dive deeper and deeper into the calming depths of the sea, safe from the storms on the surface. And when he found himself coming up for air to interact with an unbalanced person who was stuck in the methodical illusion of the game, it would be his wealth of knowledge instead of his wealth of coin that would allow him to act like a cruise liner upon the surface of the sea, too immense for waves to agitate.”
Jasun Ether, The Beasts of Success
