Alan Gregory Wonderwheel<\/a><\/span>:\u00a0 “When I get too involved in the internet with “you this” and “you that” what I do is read what I have written and replace all the “you” with “I” and reread it. I’m usually reminded that I was actually talking about myself and projecting onto the other person. That is why Torei Enji Zenji says
\n“Even though someone may be a fool, <\/span>
we can be compassionate.<\/span>
If someone turns against us, <\/span>
speaking ill of us and treating us bitterly, <\/span>
it\u2019s best to bow down:<\/span>
this is the Buddha appearing to us, <\/span>
finding ways to free us from our own attachments\u2014 <\/span>
the very ones that have made us suffer <\/span>
again and again and again.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
