| "We are not going to flow the way of the river. We're going to swim upstream. Swimming Upstream is always hard. It is easy to be swept along with the general current. But to turn around and swim upstream takes courage.  The problem is that the river , which is flowing down , is just going to end up in wastelands. It is going to end in the swamps. If we have the courage to swim upstream, we may have a chance of actually coming back to pure spring and source of the river. It's up to us. Nobody can do this for us.  Each one of us has to take responsiblity of our lives.  Whether our lives are going to be destructive force against ourselves and against others or not.  No Buddha is standing up there with a thunderbolt ready to strike us down if we swot an ant or tell a lie .  It doesn't harm the Buddhas .  |
