Buddha Nature

If you can start the day without caffeine;
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains; 
If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles; 
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it; 
If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time; 
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment ;
If you can conquer tension without medical help;
If you can relax without liquor; 
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs; 
Then you are probably the family dog.
