“If I am practicing spiritual poverty, which says that I own nothing, then the problems aren't mine and neither are the energy and compassion pouring through my heart to try to solve them. I am just a link in the process. If I don't take anything personally, then I can do great work without flagging. The Dalai Lama once said, 'Try with all your might - to work very, very hard - to make the world a better place, and if all your efforts are to no avail . . . no hard feelings!'” IfsWorldTryingHeartSaidI CanHardFeelingsProblemMightSpiritualEnergyProcessCan DoEffortCompassionPovertyMinesMy HeartSolveLinksBetter PlaceGreat WorkPouringLamaDalai Author:Bo Lozoff
“In some respects, if I had to choose just one (virtue on the spiritual path), I'd feel safest with a sense of humor.

“This is the first step toward understanding the process of real, lasting change: simply knowing with certainty that you can do whatever you need to do. This understanding has a dual edge: On the one hand it increases your confidence and dignity. On the other hand, it places full responsibility on you if you fail to make the change you set out to make. But this is a good thing, not a guilt trip.” IfsNeedsFirstsRealHandsProcessUnderstandingCan DoResponsibilityStepsKnowingFailingDignityIncreaseGuiltGood ThingsEdgesCertaintyLastingFirst StepsLasting ChangeGuilt Trip Book:It's a Meaningful Life: It Just Takes Practice Source: It's a Meaningful Life: It Just Takes Practice
“You may study with the highest teachers, but you will find no one but yourself teaching you. You may travel the world over, yet find nothing but yourself, reflected the world over. So if you now find yourself in a cell, take heart that of all the teachers in the world, out of all the places in the world, you still have with you the only ultimate ingredient of your journey: yourself.” IfsWorldHeartMayStillsSelfStudyTeacherJourneyTeachingHighestUltimateCellsFinding YourselfIngredientsPlaces In The WorldTravel The World Author:Bo Lozoff
