Dear Friends,<\/p>\n

In A Path With Heart<\/em>, Jack Kornfield mentions a Tibetan practice called “Making Difficulties into the Path” and he shared a prayer that is recited before each step of practice:<\/p>\n

\n
Grant that I may be given appropriate difficulties and sufferings on this journey so that my heart may be truly awakened and my practice of liberation and universal compassion may be truly fulfilled.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This dharma talk by Bob Stahl reviews some of the obstacles in our practice, including the hindrances, and various antidotes. (~33 minutes)

Hindrances can show up in any practice, so feel free to do your favorite meditation and notice the obstacles as part of your path. If you want a longer guided meditation looking at hindrances, here’s one ~42 minutes

And per Dr Seuss<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n
Today is your day!
\nYour mountain is waiting.
\nSo… get on your way!<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n
