Pure Mountain Tao

Yes, as simplistic as it sounds, I have been thinking “This too shall pass” lately and it really has helped, even made me smile. This applies to the good as well as the bad. It helps to remember that impermanence renders desires to maintain the status quo worthless.

When stressed or when feeling giddy, ask yourself what difference it will make in a month, a year, a lifetime? Very few things are as important as we make them out to be. The flowers that we fought hard to get will die in a few days. The dark cloud over our heads will pass soon. What is on top now shall be on the bottom soon and vice versa. It is all part of the Way.
