Mini Mindfulness Break for March 16, 2019

Do Not Avoid, Do Not Desire

In birth there is nothing but birth and in death there is nothing but death. Accordingly, when birth comes, face and actualize birth, and when death comes, face and actualize death. Do not avoid them or desire them.

– Eihei Dogen Zenji, “Birth and Death”

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

All my best,
