The Precious Disagreeable

The best Dharma lessons
don’t always sound the most pleasing
to one’s ears.

For what you already know
you don’t really need
to hear and agree with.

The best Dharma lessons
might sound the most jarring
to one’s ears. (忠言逆耳)

For what is against
your grain of thought and habit
might be what you really need to reflect on.
