According to the Buddha, we will experience these vicissitudes throughout our lives, no matter what our intentions or actions.
* Pleasure and pain.
* Gain and loss
* Praise and blame
* Fame and disrepute
Remembering this, one considers:
"What was my intention?"
"Did it cause others stress?"
"Can I use this feedback (verbal or nonverbal) to tweak my actions regardless of the intention?"
"Given the vicissitudes, should I modify action?" (a question of authenticity)
"Does this interfere with the path?"
