Dan - "Ward-Off Left"

Young Caine: You cannot see.

Master Po: You think I cannot see?

Young Caine: Of all things, to live in darkness must be worst.

Master Po: Fear is the only darkness.

Master Po: Do you hear the grasshopper that is at your feet?

Young Caine: [looking down and seeing the insect] Old man, how is it that you hear these things?

Master Po: Young man, how is it that you do not?

Master Po: What do you hear?

Caine: I hear the grasshopper.

Gradually, as you remain open and mindful, and use a technique to focus your mind more and more, your negativity will slowly be defused; you begin to feel well in your own skin, or as the French say, “etre bien dans sa peau.” From this comes release and a profound ease. I think of this practice as the most effective form of therapy and self-healing.

~ Sogyal Rinpoche, Buddhist Master Teacher
