Oddly enough, I used this mantra in a reply post to someone on newcomers--and Sage responded! It's a Buddhist teaching: When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.
The teacher can be a person, circumstance or an experience, with the focus entirely on the student's timing and ability to learn the lesson at hand.
It has become very obvious to me that many of the posters on this BB have felt that call--which is why we're all trying so hard to learn this lesson and put it behind us once and for all.
What a concept!
You are correct that this philosophy is also taught within the martial arts paradigm. They tie together very nicely!
In Sage's case, I think she's well beyond the student phase (as are you) and in the position of being a teacher.
JMTCW!
