I find my struggle to be with stubborness, some perverse contrariness to not do the things that I know would be good for me to do. Before I took on my Refuge Name of Yeshe, I had been "Mary" for 40 years...and I grew up hearing people say to me: "Mary, Mary, quite contrary.."

As for bodhisattva activity, I keep telling myself that between two jobs and school what can I do? I suppose the answer is to be compassionate with my classmates and customers at the bookstore where I work, but in my bleary eyed tiredness, it's easy to forget to be mindful with each person and give them my full attention, let alone a little love.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
