The mind having challenges is healthy for the mind. The mind that is too peaceful is not growing and does not mature. If we’re able to be up to the challenge of the difficulties the mind faces, and stay mindful, it helps the mind to learn and grow.
When we’re dying, it’s not going to be comfortable. For most of us, dying is not going to be a pleasant experience.
We should take every opportunity to face difficulties in our lives with mindfulness. Appreciate that mindfulness is present because if mindfulness guides us, we’re not going to get lost in the story of what we’re experiencing.
It’s our habit to look for pleasant experiences in meditation – we’re always wanting the next insight, but that's not going to happen when we’re dying.
What we’re going to have will be the problems we need to face. So, try to face them now.
