Embrace Obstacles

DateMay 28, 2007

Expect and embrace obstacles! For without them, we can not make progress in our practice. Only when we comprehend the true nature of adversity and are free of vexations will our wisdom unfold. For example: when provoked by someone our minds nevertheless remain tranquil, calm, and free of vexations.

That is the essence of practice.

~ Analects of Master Kuang-Ch'in
