It is simply a new platform to work from, where personal issues are not primary. ~ Domo Geshe Rinpoche ~~~~ "Es ist das gesunde Ego, welches die Transformation der Erleuchtung erlebt... nun gilt es zu verstehen, was ein gesundes Ego ist. Das Ego ist ein organisatorisches Prinzip und ein Werkzeug und man sollte es ausbilden und reinigen, bevor man es aufgibt. Sonst wäre es, als ob man ein Schiff auf dem Weg zum Ziel verließe.
