Eastern Sun

 Philosophy: "When we say sun here, we mean the sun of human dignity, the sun of human power. The Great Eastern Sun is the rising sun rather then setting sun, so it represents the dawning, or awakening of human dignity--the rising of human warriorship. Synchronizing mind and body brings the dawn of the Great Eastern Sun." -Chögyam Trungpa "Past thoughts had died away; the future had not yet arisen; the stream of my thoughts was cut right through. In that pure shock a gap opened, and in that gap was laid bare a sheer, immediate awareness of the present, one that was free of any clinging. It was simple, naked, and fundamental. And yet that naked simplicity was also radiant with the warmth of immense compassion."  -Sogyal Rinpoche
