We Can Learn Everything From Everyone

We can learn from everyone, including our self,
because, within every sentient being, there is both goodness and pride.

Pride is our downfall.
Humility is our safety net.

The term ‘humility’ comes from the Latin word humilitas, translated as humble, but also as grounded, from the earth, as it derives from humus (earth).

Compassion, empathy and equanimity cultivate humility, which is expanded by wisdom acquired through the experience of emptiness. When we are just here, there is nothing to defend.

Enlightenment isn’t pie in the sky
– something that’s pleasant to contemplate but unlikely to be realised.

Enlightenment is our natural clarity, without the usual opinions.
