“When a rainbow appears vividly in the sky, you can see its beautiful colors, yet you could not wear as clothing or put it on as an ornament. It arises through the conjunction of various factors, but there is nothing about it that can be grasped. Likewise, thoughts that arise in the mind have no tangible existence or intrinsic solidity. There is no logical reason why thoughts, which have no substance, should have so much power over you, nor is there any reason why you should become their slave.” ShouldMindReasonBeautifulExistenceSkyColorShould HaveSlaveVariousAriseFactorsSubstanceReason WhyLogicalOver YouClothingsRainbowTangibleOrnamentsConjunctionsSolidityBeautiful Colors Author:Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche

But the stimulus is One Voice.” PeopleWorldSpiritualSpiritSongCultureCoursesFatherGrowthVoiceOne ThingGroupsFieldsColorSingingJazzSlaveVariousAround The WorldStimulusGospel MusicContinuous Growth Author:Ramsey Lewis

“We can think of solutions in various theoretical ways, but it's not so on the ground.

“The color red is symbolic of passion and action, so this Vajrayogini, as she's called, comes with a mantra and she comes with these various weapons and accouterments that are all symbolic of the kind of activity that this principle, as it were, this psychological principle, does or activates in the world.
