Brian L. WeissInner peace is impossible without patience. Wisdom requires patience. Spiritual growth implies the mastery of patience. Patience allows the unfolding of destiny to proceed at its won unhurried pace.
About This Quote
In Zen Buddhism, Patience is seen as a way of overcoming the self. The self is the ego, the self is the root of being irritable and being impatient. Patience allows us to be in a state of flow, where we are free from the limitations imposed by the ego. Without patience, we can lose control and become agitated by minor problems or minor events. We can’t adopt a state of calm when we feel frustrated or angry when we see something that doesn’t go our way.
