Throwback Thursday

Furuya Sensei posted this to his Daily Message blog on September 23, 2002.

All of life’s hardships, problems, and obstacles are all a part of our training. They are there for us to meet and overcome. Sometimes we have to go forward, sometimes we have to retreat. Right now, practice Patience! Practice Understanding! As hard and difficult as it must be, try to understand the problem and this problem from inside of ourselves and use our Spiritual self to solve it. This problem, our desire to understand it, and understanding itself is all a delusion in our minds. From the beginning, there is no problem, only our attachment to an idea of a problem! What are we are fighting and what is stopping us? It is our own selves. Do not fight or cultivate anger at someone else, only fight against your own delusion!
