Resilient Practice

     “If your practice only works when things go well – if you turn away from it when things fall apart, if you don’t know how to turn your difficulties into strength and wisdom, then your work probably won’t be very effective. If, on the other hand, you are able to increase your forbearance and open you heart even more in the face of serious setbacks, you will have achieved the most prized of all spiritual accomplishments: the ability to continuously deepen your strength and love, no matter what happens.”           Norman Fischer, Shambhala Sun, March 2013
