It is necessary to be noble,
and yet take humility as a basis.
It is necessary to be exalted,
and yet take modesty as a foundation

A monk asked Kuei-tsung: â€œIs there no gate through which you can help me to enter?â€.?
The Master said: â€œThe power of Kuan-yinâ€™s sublime wisdom can save the world from suffering.â€.?
â€œWhat is the power of Kuan-yinâ€™s sublime wisdom?â€.? the monk asked.
Kuei-tsung struck the incense pot three times and said: â€œDo you hear that?â€.?
â€œI heard it,â€.? the monk said.
The master said: â€œWhy didnâ€™t I hear it?â€.? The monk was speechless, and the master took his staff and left.

A wonderful Buddhist saying states, "The arrow that hits the bull's eye is the result of a hundred misses."

You perfect your game through adversity and failure.
Lao-tzu taught that we must align with the forces of nature. Look at failure as a lesson from which you can learn. Seeing failure as an opportunity for improvement makes it more tolerable and will help you relax and figure out how to go beyond your present level of peformance.

We say, "In calmness there should be activity; in activity there should be calmness." Actually, they are the same thing; to say "calmness" or to say "activity" is just to express different interpretations of one fact. There is harmony in our activity, and where there is harmony there is calmness.
