“Change is everywhere” is a truth which many of us get on a conceptual level but have a hard time being with once it becomes a lived experience.<\/p>\n Reading the discourses of the Buddha, we find regular reminders to be aware of the changing and fluctuating nature of all experience.<\/p>\n Maybe he repeated it this often to counterbalance the natural tendency of the mind to assume that things will last, stay the same and continue.<\/p>\n Over a lifetime, minor and major changes will have a deep impact on us.<\/p>\n Yet the tools to meet them with awareness stay much the same:<\/p>\n \u0095\tEmbracing the nature of what it means to be human with compassion<\/p>\n \u0095\tTrusting ourselves to differentiate between what we need to accept for the moment, and what needs our wise effort and energy<\/p>\n \u0095\tPracticing acceptance of the nourishing and the unsatisfying, the beautiful and the ugly, the kindness and the reactivity, the harmonious and the less-than-perfect in ourselves, others, and the entire world of experience<\/p>\n – Ulla Koenig, Sangha Live<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | ||
