The late Chogyam Trungpa, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation teacher, told a story about the time when he, & others, were preparing to leave Tibet for India. Among them was an old monk who would often say: "Walk toward what scares you." Trungpa wrote that the last time he saw him, the old monk was walking toward China...
