So much talk about heroes these days…bashing them, calling them “names” – misunderstanding what and why someone is heroic. Here is a short reminder of what the mightiest hero is…
The Mightiest of Warriors
But the mightiest warriors enemies are not common foes of flesh and bone.
Then what is the enemy?
The fight is with the inner delusions, the afflictions of self-cherishing and ego-grasping…
those most terrible of demons that catch living beings
in the snare of confusion and cause them forever to wander in pain and sorrow.
What is the mission of the mightiest warrior?
The mission is to harm ignorance and delusion…
never living beings.
Look upon living beings with kindness, patience and empathy…
cherishing them like a mother cherishes her only child.
The mightiest warrior is the real hero….
calmly facing any hardship in order to bring peace, happiness and liberation to the world.
