Why we often cant restore our mood into calmness? It is because our habits outperform our rationality. The power of dhyana samadhi within us is not enough to tame the habits and afflictions accumulated from innumerable hundreds of millions of kalpas in the past. If rationality and wisdom can surpass desires and instinctive impulses, then we will be able to restore our calmness gradually. If our habits, afflictions and ignorance surpass our rationality and wisdom, then we wont be able to cease our attachments and discriminations. Therefore, the point is to be determined to eliminate our afflictions. ~teaching by Venerable Master Fa Yong Words on the picture: It is not difficult to understand Buddha dharma, but most of us fail in the situations of reality. Thats the most difficult part of cultivation.
