AUG9.6

Atisha, one of the greatest Indian Buddhist masters of the tenth century, wrote:
Whenever your mind is too high,
It is necessary to crush your pride

By remembering the instructions of the teacher.
Whenever your mind is too low,
It needs to have inspiration.
Whenever you face objects of desire or hatred,
See them as illusions and apparitions.
Whenever you hear unattractive things,
See them as echoes.
Whenever hurt comes to your body,
Accept it as the result of your karma.
