With suffering, we are given a gift. We are shown that which we are attached to the most. That which our minds are clinging to the most. With suffering, there are usually moments of despair. Despair that can feel overwhelmingly hopeless at times. Use this moment to make the profane sacred. Dedicate this moment to the act of letting go of your attachments. This moment is full of grace.

Garments of unconditional love

If one does everything mindfully, then it is all the same. Everything is chopping wood and carrying water.

“My daily activities are not unusual,
I’m just naturally in harmony with them.

Suffering shows us, what our minds are clinging to the most.

Why do we cling so much to that which is so temporary?

Change is inevitable and is constantly happening everyday. No matter where you look, you will see it. The seasons change. Time changes. People change. The environment changes. There are many cycles of birth and death taking place right now, in both nature and society. A child under 15 dies every 5 seconds. About 13.7 million birds die every day.
