48/365 - The Bodhisattva Ideal

q is for querist, quiescent, and quintessence

 

I'm far from it, but always searching, working, trying to maintain a balance. The names of the deeds are easy; generosity, ethics, patience, effort, concentration, and wisdom. To name a thing is easy, to practice a way is difficult. And practice is not the end. It is only the initiation on the way to becoming a teacher. Our life's circle is a constant cycle of learning and teaching, teaching and learning. I can only hope to keep an open mind to all that is around me.

 

This one's mainly for my wife, who all those years ago decided I was worth having around. What a trip it's been and continues to be!!

 

TRP: Whispers - these books are full of secrets!!
