The other day while I was visiting the center I was talking about my grandmother planting peanuts when I was a kid so we could see what a peanut plant looked like and where peanuts came from. My teacher asked why she would do that... I thought that it seemed pretty clear that my granny wanted me to see where peanuts came from. My teacher seemed unsatisfied with this answer so he asked me again why? I felt a little annoyed because from my own side it did not really matter to me why! For my grandmother clearly it was important to her or she would not have made the action. I did not want to be angry with my teacher so I tried to let go of my annoyance by briefly contemplating his question. I came up with an answer that still did not seem to satisfy him and he said that I should go and ask her why. Ha! I'm thinking in my mind "Yeah no! Not going to happen". It is with deepest gratitude that I have a Granny that wants to show me things and pass on knowledge. Perhaps this was the answer my teacher was trying to illicit from me but I was to busy trying to cope with my annoyance which was blocking my ability to answerer with a clear mind. This is beautiful because I have asked my teacher to show me my mind. How kind he is to do this for me! I need to be reminded of my ignorance again and again and I am so grateful for the reminder. It is my humble wish that you never be separated from your happiness and that you have a kind teacher that will show you your mind with a nice karate chop to the head! Haha:)
