Don’t Take Your Self For Granted

Don’t take your self for granted.
It’s all you have to work with!

It is because we make mistakes 
that we can become enlightened.

Our path is
to see that we suffer;
to see that our ‘self’ is the cause of this suffering;
to see that we can bring an end to suffering;
to work with that suffering … which never existed.

This self is the accumulation of ideas.
This accumulation is karma.
So karma – our self – is our teacher.

See carefully.
Speak carefully.
Think carefully.

Be grateful that you can see your self
and don’t take it for granted!
