Mind of Equanimity

Keeping a mind of equanimity... does not mean being inactive or passive. You still need to fulfill your responsibilities....

Sentient beings are illusory, but we still need to help deliver them. A place of practice is like the reflection of the moon in the water. It’s not real, but we still build monasteries so we can deliver sentient beings. This is our responsibility. We must try our best to fulfill our responsibilities, without being attached to success and failure.
