Ready For The Passing Of Conditioned Things | 14 Jul 2023

In order to understand suffering and be peaceful, we can use contemplation as a foundation.

When we go to sleep we reflect that today may be our last day. When we close our eyes we may not wake up the next day. But we also contemplate the goodness we have done and the merits we have made. We reflect on the virtues of the Buddha Dhamma Sangha as the object of our mind, creating joy and the mind is uplifted and radiant. In that state, the mind has no restlessness, no doubt, no greed, no anger, and no delusion. Rapture arises and brings tears to our eyes.

When we wake up we remind ourselves that we are still alive and we will continue to build goodness for another day.
