good morning everyone 🙏🏻✌🏽🖖
some
some wisdom from the I Ching about emotional obstacles.
"The ocean of passions, and the ocean of all knowledge are not really two in essence."
hence, there's danger there.
"Obstruction can also mean nurturance; when you encounter a situation that obstructs you and bog you down,
if you do not get resentful or bitter, but just nurture yourself to digest them, you will be successful.
However, one must not seek to obtain results too rapidly."
when the mental centre of delusion appears, the factual obstructions to enlightenment that have been there since beginningless time are overpowering, blocking perceptive insight, so that it cannot realize the truth.
t educational and liberative activities of buddhas do not reject the deluded.
as the contemplating mind progresses, why fear earlier obstructions?
events and situations that formally obstructed you can become means of self development.
still, do not grab for easy success.
using generosity, self-discipline, patience, diligence, meditation, and insight
to correct perceptive flaws, aid in psychological development, and open up the mind, is called:
beautifying cultured qualities.
