Reading from Class: Acceptance of the Ordinary

“We must be willing to be completely ordinary people, which means
accepting ourselves as we are without trying to become greater, purer, more
spiritual, more insightful. If we can accept our imperfections as they are,

to get rid of our imperfections, then they will be enemies, obstacles on
the road to our ‘self-improvement’.”  Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche
