Less Seriously

"If we’re not too confused or hard on ourselves, we will discover the sanity beyond habitual reactions. Identifying less with habits and more with our basic nature lightens things up. With more space in our mind, we take our reactions less seriously. We can watch them the way we would watch children at play– knowing they will quickly wear themselves out."  ~Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche, from It's Up to You: The Practice of Self-Reflection on the Buddhist Path ©2006 (via)
