Flower of the Day: 11/16/14
“There
comes a moment when we perceive the senselessness of insisting on a
certain negative situation: we see the stupidity of jealousy or envy, of
rejecting others or being rejected, of feeling powerless, and so forth.
Still, we want to continue dreaming in this sweet sleep, identified as
we are with negatively oriented pleasure. Life will continue to give us
wake up calls until we decisively choose to get out of this state. By
looking at this aspect consciously, it is possible to renounce this
behavior, enabling us to exchange a negative habit for a positive one.”

Spiritual Friendship | November 16, 2014
It is important to have strong spiritual friendships—not spiritual
in the rarefied sense, but in a really down-to-earth way, to have good
friends in the dharma with whom you can talk things over, share
experiences, share difficulties and whose spiritual support you're
assured of.
