Being immersed in samsara, sometimes it's hard to break-off from illusion and see, really really see. Sometimes we are attached to see things the way we want them to be, sometimes seeing things as they really are can be painful, because of our attachment to the perceptions we have. This quote right here, really spoke to my heart!!!! all i can say is WOW, rock on!!!
"Dharma is not about credentials. It’s not about how many practices you’ve done, or how peaceful you can make your mind. It’s not about being in a community where you feel safe or enjoying the cachet of being a 'Buddhist.' It’s not even about accumulating teachings, empowerments, or 'spiritual accomplishments.' It’s about how naked you’re willing to be with your own life, and how much you’re willing to let go of your masks and your armor and live as a completely exposed, undefended, and open human person. "
