All of us except the holy attained Masters have anger. I used to get upset and angry when my expectations were not met, but...

Dear friends, I have always been interested in Greek Gods, Goddesses as well as the Egyptian pantheon.

(译文请往下阅读) This monk can sit on clean high throne teaching the Dharma and conferring the Highest Yoga Tantra initiation, he can also sit on dirty low street walkway giving money and food to the homeless. 能屈能伸,此乃大丈夫也。这位僧人可以坐在干净的高法座上教导佛法,授予无上瑜伽灌顶;也可以坐在马路旁又低又肮脏的地上给流浪汉送钱和食物。
