Cutting Ties: The Fruits of Solitude | Tricycle

Cutting Ties: The Fruits of Solitude | Tricycle:

"When we are comfortable and at ease, we can devote more time to meditation and benefiting others. Usually, however, they lure us into further busyness and shenpa.

Why should I be pleased when people praise me?
Others there will be who scorn and criticize.
And why despondent when I'm blamed,
Since there'll be others who think well of me?"
