We set our alarm clock for the next morning and then, in the morning, it beeps with a very unconfident beep... When this feeble beep happens, our great samsaric command is to move a hand with tremendous habitual power and press the snooze button. Then we go back to our comfortable samsaric sleep. We go back again to the dreams and nightmares to which we are attached. Fifteen minutes later, the alarm clock beeps again. Again, we press the snooze button. We don't have this faith, this confidence in the inconceivable truth that can wake us up. This goes on for ages... That's why the Hinayana and Mahayana journeys take so long." More ... | |
