The Dawn of Virtue
| | We all enter the spiritual path as ego-based beings, and as such we have ego-based hopes and fears. Practice is virtually never what we expect. We feel like we’ve got it all wrong, thinking, 'The more I meditate, the worse I become.' My teacher, Gendun Rinpoche, always responded to this by saying, 'When you see your own shortcomings, it’s the dawn of qualities. If you only see your qualities, there’s a problem.' | |
- Lama Tsony, "Facing Fear"
