Gratitude for Being Guided Toward What Is Difficult

A student expresses heartfelt gratitude for the teacher's willingness to accompany them through painful and confusing territory, and for the clarity that guidance has brought.

I just wanted to share that I was feeling very strongly during the meditation: a lot of gratefulness for you, for your accompanying me, and for your generosity, especially over the last few weeks. And also for not making things comfortable, for gently directing me to look toward the pain and the fear, and saying, "It's okay, you have to look at it. Don't be paralyzed."

You're welcome. Keep going.

I also feel grateful for the clarity. Sometimes you're like a beam of light that really helps me, because I've been so confused, and it helps.

It is strange sometimes, how we have to go through hell to see more reality.

Yes. I love you.

I love you too.

I'll second that gratitude. I've also been feeling it for you and your generosity with your time and your presence. It's really beautiful. Thank you.

You're welcome.
