Changing the View on the Telescope

One of my favorite short examples comes from Khenpo Choga Rinpoche talking about small changes made to our thinking.

Often times, us Westerners want to make ‘overnight’ changes to our whole life when things do not seem to be going right. We quit our jobs, leave our spouse, radically alter our diets, and jump into new spiritual practices looking for immediate change.

Khenpo Choga Rinpoche likes to remind us that small changes have big effects over a long period of time. Khenpo-la likens it to a very small change in the direction of a telescope. When you look out into space, the view turns out to be millions of miles away.

We are reminded that very small changes when maintained make millions of miles change in our destiny and future lives.

Keep up with the daily small changes.

Many Dharma Blessings,
