Bottom Quote by Chogyam Trungpa

“In the practice of sitting meditation you relate to your daily life all the time. Meditation practice brings our neuroses to the surface rather than hiding them at the bottom of our minds. It enables us to relate to our lives as something workable.” quote by Chogyam Trungpa
