“Estando alinhado com o dharma, que é o caminho do coração ou o
propósito maior da existência, você se harmoniza com a lei do mínimo
esforço: com o pouco que faz, você realiza muitas coisas. Não estando
alinhado com o dharma, você precisa fazer um grande esforço para
realizar pouca coisa ou, às vezes, para não realizar nada.”

"Aligning with dharma, which is the path of the heart or the greater
purpose of existence, we attune to the law of minimum effort. With very
little effort, we accomplish many things. When we are not in alignment
with dharma, much effort is needed to create hardly anything, and
sometimes, nothing at all."

In
the Vajrayana, we see that our difficulties with relative reality stem
from our attitudes and beliefs, rather than from relativity itself. We
are called to see each arising of our day not as a threat, but as an
opportunity—a chance to open our arms, lay down our weapons, and
surrender to this exact moment of our life.
