The Big No





"There is no special reality beyond reality. That is the Big No, as opposed to the regular no.
You cannot destroy life.
You cannot by any means, for any religious, spiritual, or metaphysical reasons, step on an ant or kill your mosquitoes—at all.
That is Buddhism. That is Shambhala.
You have to respect everybody. You cannot make a random judgment on that at all.
That is the rule of the kingdom of Shambhala, and that is the Big No. You can't act on your desires alone.
You have to contemplate the details of what needs to be removed and what needs to be cultivated."



Chögyam Trungpa, "The Big No," in Great Eastern Sun.
