Suffering only shows where you are attached. That is why, to those on the path, suffering is grace.
I practice turning people into trees. Which means appreciating them just the way they are
The universe is made up of experiences that are designed to burn out your attachment, your clinging, to pleasure, to pain, to fear, to all of it. And as long as there is a place where you’re vulnerable, the universe will find a way to confront you with it.
The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of suffering.
In meditation we can watch the itch instead of scratching it.
I will work on myself, since the work on myself is going to be the highest thing I can do for it all, since I understand that as man up-levels his own consciousness, he sees more creative solutions to the problems that he's confronting.
