262-Shi Miao Hai - Let Go and Enjoy- Buddhism in daily life

Shi Miao Hai - Let Go and Enjoy I learned today that life can be like a roller coaster. It always goes up and down, to the right and to the left, just like in life; sometimes we have many friends, sometimes we have little to laugh about, sometimes we have a lot of money, sometimes little, sometimes we are very lucky, sometimes not. Often we deprive ourselves of the joy of life by holding on to conditions even though they are constantly changing. So the art of life (if you want to enjoy the roller coaster ride) is to simply let go and put your hands up, we stay in our center and enjoy the ride, simply because we want to enjoy the moment. Neither past nor future, but simply letting go and enjoying is the order of the day. If we tense up and hold on the roller coaster, we would hold on to the worries and feelings, and not just let these things flow on. In order to find back to our inner center, we need to find ways to get things flowing again, so that we are not living in the past or the future, but also so that life can really flow. In these stormy times, with many imponderables, more and more people are looking for a foothold in life. Here the teaching of the historical Buddha can become an anchor and a harbor. The core of the teaching is the journey to "awakening". This journey begins, like every journey, with a small step. Do you want to take this step? Just the first one? And then see how you feel about it, what your feelings are, what mood moves you, how your contemplation is reflected, whether the path "nestles at your feet"? Let go and enjoy! ALL CREATURES EXCEPT HUMANS KNOW THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE OF LIFE IS TO ENJOY IT. - SAMUEL BUTLER - BRITISH WRITER - 1835 TO 1902 Copyright: https://shaolin-rainer.de (Please also download my app "Buddha-Blog English" from the Apple and Android stores) Please rate us on Apple, Google, or Spotify podcast to help us promote the show
