Ask a biologist,
they’ll tell you,
there are stressors.
Some are circumstantial,
some are physical,
some are social,
and some are mental.
All complex lifeforms
tend to exacerbate their stress
by living in a state of resistance.
We resist the presence of the dreadful.
We resist the absence of the delightful.
The opposite of resistance is acquiescence:
loving and centered.
When we make resistance habitual
it feels like we’re living in an ocean of stress.
The liberation that the Buddha taught of
is simply getting so good at loving and centered acquiescence
that we practice it spontaneously, habitually, easily and effectively.
That is why we play with easy contemplations and meditations
to master this freedom from resistance.
Let us conclude
with a simple
call to action
In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported
not by monasteries but by students
as such the production of these livestreams,
blogs, and class materials is supported
by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers
just like you.
