Disappointment is the cutting edge of enlightenment
A friend of mine from NY wrote this in FB
My other Buddhist teacher Chogyam Rimpoche (I have
studied his writings every day for the last five years) says disappointment is
the cutting edge of enlightenment. Today I got to sit on that edge, and feel a
slice from its blade.
Sometimes, when something you dreamed of doesn’t happen, a sigh of relief is in order rather than disappointment, I always think that if i had everything i want i would be without anything to fight for. Not having all is a blessing not a curse. When i get disappointments i just do as Dale Carnegie proposes. Action, yes action cures all fear and suffering.
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.”
