Tricycle's Daily Dharma: August 9, 2007
The Time Is Ripe
Even if your house is flooded
or burnt to the ground, whatever the danger that threatens it, let it
concern only the house. If there's a flood, don't let it flood your
mind. If there's a fire, don't let it burn your heart, let it be merely
the house, that which is external to you, that is flooded and burned.
Allow the mind to let go of its attachments. The time is
ripe.
--Ajahn Chah
