HENG SURE: June 29, 1977. Everything in this magical journey depends on the quality of our bowing. When the demons come it’s because our bowing has been sincere and we have some energy they want. This gives us a chance to test, to certify, and to share in the presence of Bodhisattvas and protectors.

If the demons don’t show, it may mean that our bowing has been sincere and the demons got quelled before they could act.

However since most of the day is spent rolling along under a web of low-grade mental chatter--turning the trucks and the rocks into topics of false thought--then most of what comes our way in terms of protection, experiences, offerings, etc., is purely through the endless patience of our compassionate teacher.
