Virtual Sit-and-Share Topic 20-09-2021

When the bridge is crossed from ‘I like’ to ‘I want’ then the capacity to be mindful, to not be caught up and entangled, diminishes rapidly. At that point, the world starts to shrink because the attention goes to ‘I want that.’ This is where the trouble really begins.

The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: live immediately.
~ Lucius Annaeus Seneca the Younger [source: On The Shortness of Life, (De Brevitate Vitae), Approx. 49 AD]

Right View means the blinders are taken away and we see the truth clearly; a moment of clarity is when the lies we’ve lived with fall away and the stark reality of our disease is revealed to us. This vision is the beginning of recovery and the beginning of the path of awakening.

Book cover of "Rude Awakenings" by Ajahn Sucitto and Nick Scott

When you go to practise in the place of the Buddha, you must not find fault with anyone; if you find fault, it is because you have not made peace with the world. If you have not made peace with the world, it is because you have not made peace in your heart.
