Don't Take It Personally. Let It Go.

Even the greatest beings are misunderstood.

One day, as Buddha sat peacefully under the Bodhi tree, a meditation practitioner, jealous of his wisdom and presence, hurled insults at him. Still, Buddha remained calm, unmoved. The man, frustrated, spat on Buddha's face and stormed away.

Hours later, he returned and was surprised to see the mucus still there. He asked, “You’re so patient, but why didn’t you wipe it off?”

Buddha gently replied, “I don’t know if you spit on me, or on yourself.”

In that moment, the man was stunned. His heart opened. He sat down, humbled, and later became one of Buddha’s devoted students.

This is the power of not taking things personally. When others project their pain, it's not about you — it's about their own story. When you can remain centered and compassionate, you step into true freedom.

Let love and wisdom guide your response. 🌿
“What others throw at you is their burden. What you hold onto is yours.”

Many Blessings,
Chunyi Lin

Core values of our tai chi and qigong family - shared by Silver Lotus. Respect for everyone, and everyone is welcome.

What does respect mean within our Tai Chi for Health community?

-We are like a family
-We are not competitive
-We care for one another
-We do not judge quickly or assume too much
-We are open to people from all walks of life. No matter who you are, we treat each other with respect and kindness
-We help each other, support each other, and learn from each other

‘I am always touched by how little jealousy, animosity, or conflict there is in our tai chi family. This spirit is rare, and very precious’ 💎
