Thay Phap Nhat
To me, it is a
beautiful practice to accept whatever comes to us. Usually our
mind does not allow us to do that, it always intervenes. It tells us
to do this, do that. Our mind always has the tendency to choose. But
when we are in a dilemma, we do not know how to decide if a specific
option is good or bad to do, and then we create inner conflicts. And
because of these conflicts our mind and body become tired. That is
very unhealthy. The way to get out of this situation is to realize
that there is no need to get out. We just do nothing, we are flowing
with life as it is. We welcome whatever is happening to us. We can
say: “Hey, I am really happy to welcome you”. That is
enough. This is the way to get out of all our problems, all our
sufferings. But often we do not have the courage to do that
because we feel an insecurity within ourself. We know that if we go
there we will enjoy a beautiful view, a beautiful success but we are
afraid that maybe in the middle of the way there is a hole and when
we go there we will fall down into the hole. We are creating a lot of
stories in our mind that might never happen. We are educated with
the belief that we need to live in security and we are not taught
that life is always insecure. Only in insecurity we will have a
chance to grow up. Only in insecurity we will discover the beauty
of life. Life is really an adventure. In order to understand and
to know the secret of life, we just need to be in that adventure.
