Autobiography in 5 chapters

by Nyoshul Khen Rinpoche

1
I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am hopeless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.


2
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place. But it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.



3
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in... it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is MY fault. I get out immediately.




4
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.





5
I walk down another street.
