This journey is filled with doubts but my pace doesn't hesitate.
This journey is repetitive but is fascinating.
This journey is lonesome but never lacks connectedness.
I was told to "Rest in it".
In our last Cho Mastery Journey gathering, I asked how to deal with doubts. Am I doing it right? Am I doing it enough? Am I making any change? The vastness of the Dharma could be intimidating.
The wisdom word from our dearest Khandro-la is REST!!! Rest in the experience... Rest in the feelings... (She said something else but I couldn't quite hear them, I was in shock.) The idea is nothing new, but receiving the direct instruction at the right moment, I want to call it divine. I am writing it down to remind myself, and to express my huge gratitude, feeling grateful to be in this sangha seeking refuge together.
When I am chasing around, I want to remember this. Rest!
I needed to hear this today, Louise. Thank you for reminding us and sharing in such a genuinely heart-felt (and entertaining! Love the photo!) way.
