Traditional Buddhist Teaching For A Not So Traditional Gal...

I came across this lesson of traditional Buddhist teachings that I know will serve my own spirit, but may be food for thought for others.

First: Rely on the spirit and meaning of the teachings, not on the words.

Second: Rely on the teachings, not the personality of the teacher

Third: Rely on real wisdom, not superficial interpretation

Fourth: rely on the essence of your pure wisdom Mind, not on judgmental   preceptions.

As I leave for work this morning I hope to learn something from each of my co-workers and patients, for they are the teachers of this day.
