I slipped and fell in the bathroom of the guestroom where we stayed in Dharamshala… and hit my back on the rim of the toilet bowl. Thankfully, the plastic toilet seat was on it, which kind of helped to buffer from the otherwise unforgiving hardness of the ceramic. There was a sharp pain and for a few moments, I thought it was the end of the trip… and the HHDL teachings havn’t even started yet. It turned out to be less severe as I imagined it might be. As I write this, there is some remnant soreness left.<\/p>\n

A friend remarked that this could be a case of ‘Zhong4 Zui4 Qing1 Bao4’ (\u91cd\u7f6a\u8f7b\u62a5) which means ‘Heavy misgiving with a light result’. Heavy misgivings are at times lightened in terms of karmic results when we do substantial good to dilute the effects of evil. I replied that no matter what negative things happen, we should always see it as a case of ‘Zhong Zui Qing Bao’. This is a way to count our blessings and not grumble too much for getting our just deserts!<\/span> Of course, it should not lead to complacency, such that we assume we have tons of blessings to count, and stop doing good… and worse still, start doing evil!<\/p>\n
