“It takes courage to accept life fully, to say yes to our life, yes to our karma, yes to our mind, emotions and whatever else unfolds. This is the beginning of courage. Courage is the fundamental openness to face even the hardest truths. It makes room for all the pain, joy, irony, and mystery that life provides.” CourageAcceptanceBuddhismKarmaOpennessDharma Teaching Book:It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path Source: It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path
