On Studying Buddhism 6: How To Listen

by Michael Defries

A Buddha becoming conflicted
is like a patient mother
waiting for their child
to listen.

One who cannot hear Buddhism
is like a child that tempts danger
testing to see if the handle is hot.

Inevitably, they will get burned.

Studying Buddhism will teach
you how not to get burned.
