“… it is not necessary that we lack strength or intelligence or will, but that, stifled in the grip of ignorance, we simply do not see the world clearly; we do not know what should be cultivated and what should be avoided.”
See and observe…, do we find useful illustrations of Buddhist principles in our daily experiences?
