Yes We Can! by Marc Gafni

We were not born this way. Remember, we come into this world trailing clouds of glory with a core knowledge of our omnipotence, beauty, infinite power and  infinite potential. And then we hear a chorus of voices for the first ten years of our lives and the only word they seem to be saying is No No No. We gradually come to associate maturity with saying No. But somewhere deep inside the Yes remains, an eternal child of the soul. We know on the inside of the inside that yes is the answer. 

As Yoka Daishi tells us, 

When it is “Yes,” a young Naga girl in an instant attains 

Buddhahood.

When it is “No,” the most learned Zensho while alive fall into

Hell.
