The Importance of Patience
Patience is one of the perfections. It's one of the parmes of Buddhahood. And I was so interested in coming back to America after having been in India for so many years. When you have that perspective on practice, it very much helps us to stay balanced and patient behind all the ups and downs. The quality of one particular sitting in a lot of pain or a lot of restlessness can be very collected and cool. We're just there with it. If it's wonderful, we don't get depressed. But if it's difficult with the understanding that practice is for a long time.
