82. THIS MY BODY IS A GUEST HOUSE.


This being human is a guest house.Every morning a new arrival.

A joy, a depression, a meanness,some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.

Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they're a crowd of sorrows, enveloping you and who violently sweep your house

empty of its furniture,still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out 

for some new delight.


The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing,  

and invite them in.



Be grateful for whoever comes,because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
