Three Buddhists Walked Into an AA Meeting ...and got sober.: "...where perceived barriers become wisdom gates."

Oh my, what a dull life this world would be if we were only spoon-fed what we wanted to hear or read.

Waiting for the world to give me only what I prefer is going to be a long wait. Jump!

Even though someone may be a fool, we can be compassionate. If someone turns against us, speaking ill of us and treating us bitterly, it’s best to bow down: this is the Buddha appearing to us, finding ways to free us from our own attachments – the very ones that have made us suffer again and again and again.”
