\"Thumbnail Happy Autumn! Enjoy this quote about fall<\/a> from Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, founder of Shambhala<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The Four Seasons have a natural hierarchy of restriction,
\nopenness, celebration, practicality–and then restriction again. We could talk
\nabout the functioning of governments or any organization, in fact, in the same
\nway. There is some kind of harsh winter taking place…on the cushion. Then,
\nafter we sit, we might gather together…and we begin to thaw out. We have spring
\nthere…Then we have a summer celebration, sharing our wisdom….After the
\ncelebration of  <\/span>summer, we review
\nwhat we have done and how we have conducted ourselves, which is the fruition
\nlevel of autumn<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Chogyam Trungpa<\/a> Rinpoche<\/p>\n
