BEING BRAVE Transforming Our World, Halifax NS, 5-10 August 2011 with Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, Pema Chodron, Adam Lobel.

This is from Chapter 3 of Ruling Your World, “The Ten Percent Advantage”:

“We have the wisdom and compassion of a universal monarch lying within us like dormant seeds waiting for the sun. We think that we’re 180 degrees from enlightenment, but we’re only a few degrees off. I’ve always found this bit of wisdom and encouragement heartening, because there are days when the qualities of a buddha might as well be in a different galaxy. In fact, our wisdom and compassion are always available. What is takes to see this is not a trip to the Far East or a radical change in lifestyle, but a subtle shift in our attitude. Learning to rule is a matter of developing confidence in basic goodness.”
