No Trust in Reality – upaya – ostaseski

Any idea about how things are going will only work as a boundary… The way things are and the way our buddha-nature works cannot be bounded that way. The moment you have an idea about how things should be, you’re creating walls, and you’re sitting inside them. And there’s no trust: not in yourself, no trust in reality, no trust in this process of transformation. And without trust there’s restriction, and all we’re left with is our suffering and complaints.
