"Training in equanimity is learning to open the door to all, welcoming

all beings, inviting life to come visit. Of course, as certain guests arrive,

we’ll feel fear and aversion. We allow ourselves to open the door just a
crack if that’s all that we can presently do, and we allow ourselves to

shut the door when necessary. Cultivating equanimity is a work in
progress. We aspire to spend our lives training in the loving-kindness

and courage that it takes to receive whatever appears—sickness,

health, poverty, wealth, sorrow, and joy. We welcome and get to know
them all."
