Your Own True Nature:
In One of Buddhas discourses he talks about the four kinds of horses . The excellent horse, the good horse, the poor horse, and the really bad horse. The excellent horse moves swiftly, the shadow of the whip is enough to make him move. The good horse runs with the slightest touch of the back. The poor horse has to feel pain, and the really bad horse has to feel the pain penetrate to the marrow of its bones. He uses this analogy in meditation, but it applies to anything in life your working on. So which horse are you? When you first hear this story everyone wants to be the excellent horse, but that’s not the point. The point is to recognize which one you truly are. Actually the really bad horse often times ends up being the beast practitioner. The point is to know which one you are, your own true nature and speak from that, it’s your starting point to move forward. Your internal qualities, that’s your wealth, your beauty, its what people love and respond to about you.
