Fearlessness | October 31, 2014
The fearlessness of the great spiritual
teachers like Moses, Jesus, Saint Theresa, Buddha, and Bodhidharma was
the fearlessness of the spiritual warrior. Different from stoicism,
naïveté, or arrogance, this fearlessness is selfless, generous, and
compassionate. Fearlessness is not a matter of ignoring fear, but of
really acknowledging it and being empowered by it.
- John Daido Loori Roshi, "Between Two Mountains"
