from Mangala Shri Bhuti - The Link · host Dzigar Kongtrul Rinpoche and students
Speaker: Daisuke Inaba. Dai-san talks about how self-reflection helped him navigate the changes in his practice and appreciate the importance of trusting himself. Initially, when he practiced to alleviate intense suffering, his motivation was equally intense. As his suffering diminished, his motivation also weakened and he began to question the sincerity and value of his practice. Through self-reflection, he was able to overcome the discomfort of seeing the limitations of his practice and to accept them as part of the path. He emerged from this experience with a greater understanding of how to work with obstructions on the path and a greater appreciation for the importance of trusting in himself.
