Things Change

Venerable Thubten Chonyi from Sravasti Abbey gives a short talk and guides a meditation on how we can pay attention to impermanence in our daily lives, so that we can welcome change with a mind that is calm, centered, and accepting, rather than responding with shock and fear.

Thank you for the skillful guidance on this topic. In the midst of a tumultuous time in USA politics it is helpful to remember that nothing is solid and permanent and even in the midst of uncomfortable change we can still practice the Dharma and stabilize our minds. 🙏

Most grateful. Thank you.

Love the style and content. But. Ery abrupt ending.

Excellent 💮

Very well done. Thank you 🙏

Great dharma talk, an awakening moment, our mistaken view that things will last forever, they don’t. Helps loosen the grip on attachment. Loved the metaphor of recalling my childhood to what I have become today. As if my parents were speaking to me, the way you look like we looked like the way we look like you will become! Blessings!

Nicely done, thank you.

Inspired a sense of equanimity and calm, perhaps a bit of sadness too but I suppose that's part of the realization.

5 stars. Meditation followed by a talk. Enjoyed the guidance and the talk.

Only a few hours after this meditation did a profound, calm acceptance allow me to let go of so much grasping for security where only change actually exists and now I feel so much lighter. Thank you🙏🏽
