About This Quote

To ascend the mountain, we must descend to our knees is a quote that many people have heard. It comes from the story of the Buddha and his enlightenment. The Buddha had a very difficult path to enlightenment and it is said that he felt as though he would never reach his goal. He decided to face his fears and deal with his issues head-on.

He became frustrated and threw down his staff and began to walk away, but then he realized that he had not yet learned all of his lessons. He turned around and picked up his staff, trudged through the snow and the mud, and began to climb Mount Sumeru.
