Imagine being able to use suffering ......

“For developing spiritual realizations, suffering has many good qualities; so for a spiritual practitioner it need not be a negative experience. Through reflecting on our own suffering, we can develop many useful insights and positive qualities. Recognizing our vulnerability dispels our arrogance and deluded pride. Understanding how our present suffering is merely a symptom of our being in samsara enables us to develop renunciation. Furthermore, we can use our own pain to understand the pain of all living beings. Having learned to accept our own suffering patiently, if we then think of the suffering of all the other living beings trapped in samsara, compassion will arise naturally.”

Perhaps you would like to join our members online at 7am each day?

For this morning's contemplation.

"By familiarizing our mind with the patience of voluntarily accepting suffering, our problems and troubles will eventually disappear. Everything depends upon familiarity; once we are familiar with something, we can accomplish it without any difficulty."

Today's wisdom from our online morning meditation for members.

"When we identify with our feelings, we make them bigger and more solid than they are, and it becomes far more difficult to let the unpleasant feelings go. On the other hand, when we learn to view our feelings in a more detached way, seeing them simply as waves in the ocean of our mind, they become less frightening and much easier to deal with constructively."

“Just as there is room in the sky for a thunderstorm, so there is room in the vast space of our mind for a few painful feelings; and just as a storm has no power to destroy the sky, so unpleasant feelings have no power to destroy our mind. When painful feelings arise in our mind, there is no need to panic; we can patiently accept them, experience them, and investigate their nature and where they come from.”
