From Maha Boowa's book Things as They Are:
"When the skandhas reveal themselves bit by bit, what are the adversaries to Nibbana? The sense that "my heart is empty and at ease, clean and clear." Even though we may see the heart as empty, it is pained with un-emptiness.
I loved this statement. The teacher in interview suggested that I consider that my difficulties are a purification, and the extent to which I was holding on to progress being this way or that way. Maha Boowa confirms the close and kind relationship that is needed and I celebrate my fortune at not yet having found peace.
