Peaceful Death, Joyful Rebirth: A Tibetan Buddhist Guidebook
or that challenge our culture's definitions
of what appropriate behavior might be.
Part of standing up to fear of death, fear of guilt,
fear of aloneness, fear of joy, and fear of life
is standing up to take in the wild.
Whatever the cost.
I can also resist the temptation to domesticate.
When we domesticate self, God, or other beings,
we are defanging them, emasculating them,
removing the wild from them.
This is not a good spiritual practice.
There must be some wildness left in our lives.
Foolishness and wisdom go together, after all,
and folly is a certain response to wildness.
To follow one's imagination is often an act of folly,
a wild act deserving of Spirit's presence.
For Spirit itself is wild, very, very wild.
We are transmitters of Spirit.
Spirit and we create together.
We must trust Spirit.
We must trust the wild again.

Of all we've been taught,
And be, instead, bewildered.
Run from what's profitable and comfortable
If you drink those liqueurs, you'll spill
The spring water of your real life.
Forget safety.
Live where you fear to live.
Destroy your reputation.
Be notorious.
I have tried prudent planning
Long enough, from now
On, I'll live mad.

and my soul was inflamed with love for the sun,
and I wanted my masks no more.
And as if in a trance I cried,
“Blessed, blessed are the thieves who stole my masks.”
Thus I became a madman.

Imagine you have two bottles filled with perfume: as receptacles they are separate, but the fragrances that escape from them rise up do not remain separate for very long and they mix. What is the purpose of this imagery? Well, human beings can be compared to bottles of perfume, in that their bodies are separate but with their thoughts and feelings they are able to meet with other human beings and even with entities from the invisible world. Only, we do not meet with anyone we want; we can only reach the souls and spirits in the visible and invisible worlds that correspond to what we ourselves are, because it is just a phenomenon of resonance that is at work here. The purpose, therefore, of prayer, meditation and all spiritual exercises is that they help us elevate our inner self and as we do so, by the power of affinity, we meet with ever purer and ever more luminous spirits.
