Change is Like an Onion - 25sep21

Change is like an onion.

It is ubiquitous, multi-layered, complex,

makes life interesting, and often makes us cry.

There are days when we crave none of those.

And during those times we could feel the urge

to dismiss the deep work

of coming to terms with change

with the earnestness

of ultra-conservative Mace Windu

hiding from a Sith holocron.

But both Lau Tzu and Gautama

call us to walk the path of mindfulness and release

in that most inconvenient of manners:

vulnerable, passive, visceral, and spontaneous.

Though scary and inconvenient this may be.

You can do this.

Simply use the Buddha’s tools.

Let us conclude

In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported

not by monasteries but by students

as such the production of these livestreams,

blogs, and class materials is supported

by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers

just like you.
