Faith by Sharon Salzberg When I was first practicing meditation, one of the great one-liners my teacher Munindra offered to me was “The Buddha’s enlightenment solved the Buddha’s problem, now you solve yours.” It was important to me to feel that the Buddha’s enlightenment did solve his problem, because after all here was the very path he had offered. And I also recognized that I clearly hadn’t yet solved mine! But I saw that Munindra was implying a confidence that I actually could solve the problem of suffering for myself. There was some amount of energy and effort and actual practice that was being called for from me so that I could step up to this experience of verified faith...goo.gl/FVpwA6 Photo by Jess Hamilton
