Practitioners are patient with the good and the bad. Whatever arises is greeted with patience – the capacity to let it be as it is. Every occurrence is seen as the opportunity to awaken. The good is appreciated, but not clung to. It is not allowed to intoxicate the mind. The bad is recognised, but not rejected. It is not allowed to unseat the mind. Neither ruffles composure in the saddle of Mind Training. Each is ridden as the path of awakening.
