Drala

"Overcoming the need for an enemy provides access to a deeper source of energy and power in our lives. The Tibetans have a word for this larger energy — drala — which literally means “beyond the enemy”. Chogyam Trungpa describes drala as “the magical quality of existence” that arises out of “connecting the wisdom of your own being with the power of things as they are”. We can perceive the power inherent in things as they are — the radiance of fire, the solidity of earth, the expansiveness of joy, the tenderness of sorrow — only when we drop our struggle with ourselves and our experience — – John Welwood, “Love and Awakening”"
