Practicing with what is.
Why do you want enlightenment anyway?
You may not like it.
- Shunryu Suzuki, Roshi
“Practice inevitably leads to ourselves, as we actually are. We may not like that. Practice inevitably leads to the recognition of how we create suffering for ourselves and others. We may not like that. Practice inevitably leads to the realization that we are not special. We may not like that. But what choice do we have? Do we remain attached to our likes and dislikes, thereby continuing in dukkha? Or do we seek liberation? Even if we don’t like it?” Thank you Ox Herding
