We Have To Face The Pain We

There Is One Thing In Life That You Can Always Rely On: Life Being As It Is.

When We Refuse To Work With Our Disappointment, We Break The Precepts: Rather Than Experience The Disappointment, We Resort To Anger, Greed, Gossip, Criticism. Yet It's The Moment Of Being That Disappointment Which Is Fruitful; And, If We Are Not Willing To Do That, At Least We Should Notice That We Are Not Willing. The Moment Of Disappointment In Life Is An Incomparable Gift That We Receive Many Times A Day If We're Alert. This Gift Is Always Present In Anyone's Life, That Moment When 'it's Not The Way I Want It!

How Do We Know If Our Practice Is A Real Practice? Only By One Thing: More And More, We Just See The Wonder. What Is The Wonder? I Don't Know. We Can't Know Such Things Through Thinking. But We Always Know It When It's There.

All I Can Be Is Who I Am Right Now; I Can Experience That And Work With It. That's All I Can Do. The Rest Is The Dream Of The Ego.

Meditation Practice Is Simply Moving From A Life Of Hurting Myself And Others To A Life Of Not Hurting Myself And Others.
