So the point we come back to is that some kind of real gift or sacrifice is needed if we are to open ourselves completely. This gift may take any form. But in order for it to be meaningful, it must entail giving up our hope of getting something in return. It does not matter how many titles we have, nor how many suits of exotic clothes we have worn through, nor how many philosophies, commitments and how many sacramental ceremonies we have participated in. We must give up our ambition to get something in return for our gift. That is the really hard way – Chögyam Trungpa
