Obstacles

• What is an obstacle? This is a sign of lack of merits.
• When you practice, you too will have obstacles – fears, doubts, different dreams, sensations, feelings, experiences. At such times, you should be persistent. Do not be discouraged. Do not be distracted. See them as illusion. A sign of potential attainment is always an obstacle.
• Deeper the practice, stronger the obstacles.
• If you don’t transform obstacles into difficulties on the path, they will just remain ordinary difficulties.
• When you have obstacle, pray to the Lama. That is the key.
