Thuk Je Che Tibet

Don’t think that without compost you can have flowers.
That is an illusion.
You can have flowers only with compost.
That is the insight of interbeing—look into the flower and you will see the compost.
If you remove the compost that became the flower, the flower will
disappear also.

What you are looking for, freedom, joy, and stability, you know
that suffering plays a very important role in it.
So be aware that we cannot just run away from our problems.
In fact, we have to go back to our problems.

The practice of calming, of concentrating, of embracing, of looking deeply into the nature of our pain, is absolutely necessary for us to get the transformation, the healing that we need so much.
