Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: In Buddhism, we say it takes a strong back and a soft front. It takes tremendous strength of the back to uphold yourself in the midst of conditions. And that is the mental quality of equanimity. But it also takes a soft front—the capacity to really be open to the world as it is, to have an undefended heart. — Roshi Joan Halifax
