By using meditation to dissolve the illusion of "me," we ally ourselves with [the mind of enlightenment]. Now we can rely on its energy, just as we can rely on the energy of a horse. The majestic spirit of our wild-horse mind has been tamed and gathered into windhorse, the primordial energy of basic goodness. . . . We call it windhorse because its nature is uplifted, strong, exuberant and brilliant. It's running and the mane is flying. . . . Our practice now lies in riding it.
