Realization: "Unworthy"

When I bow to the Buddha, I look down. When I bow to the Buddha, I do not look at him. Why do I not look at the Buddha when I bow to him? Because I feel as though I am unworthy; that this entity that sits before me, will look me in my eye and see within my soul, impurity.

I feel as though I am an angry person. I feel as though I am not good at practicing Right Speech. I feel as though I am unable to practice Right Thought.

So, then, what do I need to do to be good enough, right here and right now? Nothing.

The Buddha will look at me and say: "Where, right now, is your anger? Show it to me."

"Where, right now, are you practicing Wrong Speech? Show it to me. Where, right now, are you practicing Wrong Thought? Show it to me. For, I can see you, right now, and you are wonderful."

There is nothing to be done, yet everything falls into place. You are worthy. You are complete.
