Rely on the message of the teacher,
not on her personality;
Rely on the meaning,
not just on the words;
Rely on the real meaning,
not on the provisional one;
Rely on your wisdom mind,
not on your ordinary, judgmental mind.
Shakyamuni Buddha:
The Four Reliances
When, and where, would this advice NOT apply?
And when I can clearly tell them all apart at all times then… well, such peace, such peace.
