Removing the Clouds

Chögyam Trungpa, Edited by Judith Lief - Nobody's World, Shambhala Publications 2008

There’s a sharp precision that exists in our life, which generally arises from some form of training or discipline, the sitting practice of meditation in particular. It’s not that meditation sharpens our perceptions, but that sitting practice makes it possible to perceive. It’s a question of removing the clouds, rather than recreating the sun. pg 107
