It is as if we were entering a school to study a certain discipline with great, wise, learned people. The first self-conscious awareness we would have is a sense of our own ignorance, how we feel extraordinarily stupid, clumsy, and dumb. At the same time, we begin to get wind of the knowledge; otherwise, we would have no reference point to experience ourselves being dumb. The first glimpse of prajna is like that.- Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche

As soon as we think we know something, then we become rigid and unresponsive. You know the famous phrase: 'For the beginner there are many possibilities, but for the expert there are few.' Maintaining a mind of 'not knowing' allows us to respond to situations with openness, freshness, and joy.- Gerry Shishin Wick Roshi

When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point; for the place, the way, is neither large nor small, neither yours nor others’. The place, the way, has not carried over from the past, and it is not merely arising now.- Eihei Dogen Zenji

Spiritual practitioners thrive in unpredictable conditions, testing and refining the inner qualities of heart and mind. Every situation becomes an opportunity to abandon judgment and opinions and to simply give complete attention to what is.- Shaila Kathy Mills

Some people think by giving everything away, you end up with nothing. But the Dharma is an inexhaustible well. However much you give of it, you can always go back for more, because in this well the more you take from it, the higher the water will rise.- Master Sheng Yen

well I had an emotional break down today. I need help. How do I accept? I can say " I had a stroke" But that is the same thing I use to say in NA..; I'm Kelli and I'm a drug addict' Just words but I just had a crying session with my Mom because I was making up reasons why the things she was doing was making me upset and my husband could do this and that. When It was me trying to find a fault in others to make me feel better. I learn by visual learning. I don't see anything so I can except. I need help with this :Help:
