WHEN SOMETHING UPSETS US, COME BACK TO THE MIND

Singapore Q&A 10.7.2023 (22:30-24:02)

The right attitude is holding the idea that the suffering feeling is nature, that there is nobody there.

Because of the right attitude, the watching mind can be equanimous towards a suffering object.

We learn by watching it again and again. So, every time anger arises, we need to watch the anger not from the pain only but from every suffering object – be it a person or situation. Whenever the reaction arises, we try to practice how to watch suffering feeling with equanimity again and again.

We need to practice watching suffering feeling with equanimity and without expecting the feeling to go away.
