Mini Mindfulness Break for January 09, 2019

Embracing Groundlessness

It’s not impermanence per se, or even knowing we’re going to die, that is the cause of our suffering, the Buddha taught. Rather, it’s our resistance to the fundamental uncertainty of our situation. Our discomfort arises from all of our effort to put ground under our feet, to realize our dream of constant okayness.

– Pema Chodron, “The Fundamental Ambiguity of Being Human”

May you be free from suffering and the causes of suffering!

All my best,
