Worry
If the problem can be solved, why worry? And if the problem can’t be solved, then worrying will do you no good.

#Perspective #Quotes #Shantideva #WorryingSome Theravāda teachers attribute the metaphor of 'honey on the blade of a knife' to Buddha, but, as far as I can tell, it actually came from Śāntideva’s Bodhicharyāvatāra (8th century) or the general Mahāyāna Prajñāpāramitā tradition.

For when, with irreversible intent,
The mind embraces bodhichitta,
Willing to set free the endless multitudes of beings,
In that instant, from that moment on,
A great and unremitting stream,
A strength of wholesome merit,
Even during sleep and inattention,
Rises equal to the vastness of the sky.
Śāntideva. The Way of the Bodhisattva
The enemy is our greatest teacher.
Through difficulties pride is dissolved, karma is purified, inner strength is furthered, and equanimity is attained.
— Shantideva
