H.H. - The black and the white

The dark side at times seems daunting and hopeless. The Buddha called this the noble truth of suffering. He went on to say since there are causes to our dark side, there are ways to ameliorate them. Then he taught us the path. Serious practitioners of old paid attention to their motivation. When it was black, they placed a black stone down. When it was white, they placed a white one down. The black stone pile was much bigger, but slowly with inner attention and work the piles became equal. Much later the white one towered above the black. Our potential is there. We must seize the moment! Emaho!
