Pure Mountain Tao

Health and wholeness are related, but they are not the same thing my friends. It is possible for a person to be in the peak of health, and yet they fail to be a whole person. It is also possible to be a whole person despite having health problems. Remember that body, mind, & spirit must be taken care of for us to be whole. Without this, we are a puzzle that cannot be complete because we are missing pieces.

Let us pray that we see problems as opportunities; that they give us a chance to practice and demonstrate our wisdom. Let us pray that we refrain from anger, impatience, and brooding over our problems. Let us pray that we are blessed with the wisdom to know that a life without any problems is impossible and expecting a life without problems is foolish. May we be able to deal with our problems in a wise and level headed manner, thus avoiding creating further problems.
