Duas instruções parecidas. A primeira de Chögyam Trungpa (que estou usando no rodapé aqui), em True Perception:
“Its like a frog sitting in the middle of a big puddle, with rain constantly falling on it. The frog simply winks its eyes at each raindrop that falls on it, but doesn’t change it’s posture. It doesn’t try to either jump into the puddle or get out of the puddle.”
A segunda de sua aluna, Pema Chodron, em No Time to Lose: A Timely Guide to the Way of the Bodhisattva:
“Bodhisattvas practice in the middle of the fire. This means they enter into the suffering of the world; it also means they stay steady with the fire of their own painful emotions. They neither act them out nor repress them. They are willing to stay ‘on the dot’ and explore an emotion’s ungraspable qualities and fluid energies – and to let that experience link them to the pain and courage of others.”
