The Buddha's Limitations on the Level of the Person

On the level of the person, you can never achieve perfection. The answer is to be more deeply rooted in the presence so that you're not looking for some kind of answer on thelevel of the person. Derive your sense of who you are from the presence rather than the conditioned entity in your mind. Big dysfunctions are removed by presence as presence. Smaller things remain often. That's the practice. It's like the surface reality and the deeper reality. And so they, they merge.
