has the Harvest FAILED?!

[Wai]

... basically when someone comes to you for spiritual advice repeatedly, agrees with the advice, then ignores it, all the while doing something to upsets you ("right" conversations), man that s*** is some catalyst for real..:/

This is so true.

This has occurred many times whenever I teach, and not only in spiritual matters. I will get so frustrated when I have to keep repeating the same point and yet the student never learns and continues to repeat the same mistake.

Worse, after a while I started believing that I am be a horrible teacher. Until a Buddhist lama told me that everyone has his own timing in learning, and that a person will not learn until he is ready to learn.

And then it hit me, that this is an opportunity (catalyst) for me to learn patience, tolerance, humility, compassion, instead of getting all upset and angry.
