Don’t forget to mention that it takes a bit of time to reach these calm and peaceful waters. Some people come to Buddhist practice with high hopes. I worry about them. If they don’t experience a new feeling or a change quickly enough, they can give up and turn away. The analogy of water dripping slowly on a rock is a good one to offer. That rock can change a lot — really a lot. But it will not happen in one week or one month.
