Tricycle's Daily Dharma: May 18, 2007
Opening Our Hearts
We shield our heart with an armor woven out of very old habits of pushing away pain and grasping at pleasure. When we begin to breathe in the pain instead of pushing it away, we begin to open our hearts to whats unwanted. When we relate directly in this way to the unwanted areas of our lives, the airless room of ego begins to be ventilated.
