| Here the Red Queen began again. "Can you answer useful questions?" she said. "How is bread made?" "I know _that_!" Alice cried eagerly. "You take some flour---" "Where do you pick the flower?" the White Queen asked. "in a garden or in the hedges?" "Well, it isn't _picked_ at all," Alice explained: "it's _ground_---" "How many acres of ground?" said the White Queen. "You mustn't leave out so many things." |

| Quote of the moment |
| When we talk of the six perfections - generosity, ethical discipline, patience, perseverance, concentration, and wisdom - they can also be found in other non-bodhisattva practitioners who are working more toward their own individual liberation. What makes the practice of these six factors perfect is the motivation involved. In order for one's practice of patience to be a practice of the perfection of practice, you need the motivation which is bodhicitta. If your practice is motivated by bodhicitta - the aspiration to attain enlightenment for the benefit of all - then your practice becomes truly a practice of perfection. |

| Just as the well-trained elephant lets the king mount him and ride him into the fray, so does the well-disciplined man, the best of men, patiently endure harsh words. |
