We Grow by Shining a Light on the Minds darkest Places

If we feel distressed, embarrassment or anger, we think we've really blown it.
Yet feeling emotional upheaval is not a spiritual faux pass, it's the place where the warrior learns
compassion.
It's were we learn to stop struggling with our self.
It's only when we can dwell in these places that scare you that equanimity becomes unshakable
We are very much like a person who finds a jewel buried in a heep of garbage, right here in what we'd like to throw away, in what we find repulsive and frightening, we discover the warmth
and clarity of "Bodhichitta"
"The Mind of Enlightenment"
