When anything is wrong in our lives, we should look inside ourselves for the karmic hindrance. “If you blame someone else,” the Sixth Patriarch said, “you yourself are to blame. If you think you are a victim, it is that very thought which makes you a victim.” Confucius said, “In the archer there is a resemblance to the mature person. When he misses the bull’s-eye, he turns and seeks the reason for his failure in himself.” (Whole World is a Single Flower)
