Maintaining a State of Equanimity & Steadiness
It’s been a real challenge to not feel unbalanced the past few weeks. 10,000 joys & 10,000 sorrows. This dharma talk from Jonathan Foust has helped me gain some footing. Here’s a few points that Jonathan made:
– Try to get to a place that’s neither for – or against – something.
– Keep your heart open to experience and not get lost in emotions.
– A steady mind can help you to see what’s true – and also allow you to show compassion so you can act with empathy.
– Being balanced is the flower of meditation. It gives you the courage to face your pain and the cruelty of the world.
– Let things be as they are.
