transgender day of remembrance

one of chogyam trungpa rinpoche’s descriptions of “openness” :

“It is not a matter of giving something to someone else. It means giving up your demand and the basic criteria of your demand. It is learning to trust in the fact that you do not need to secure your ground: learning to trust in your fundamental richness – that you can afford to be open. This is the open way.”
