This week’s topic is “Hasten, Slowly”

 

The Buddha replied to “How did you cross the flood (of samsara)?” by neither pushing forwards, nor staying still. Milarepa recommended us to “Hasten, Slowly”. These seeming paradoxes are not meant to be clever or to freeze our brains, but instructively reveal the subtle middle-way hidden in plain sight.
