43. Going Through Something

from Perspective Detective · host Sabrina de Jong

Book a coaching session with me: HERE There is a Buddhist story that I read in the book Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach about the Buddha and a demon whose purpose is to spark fear and distraction into the lives of the people. He, of course, shows up often and powerfully to try to spiritually harm the Buddha. But the Buddha, being the Buddha, fully enlightened, fully at peace, full of the kingdom of God within his heart and soul, approaches the demon when it approaches and says: “Hello, I see you” The Buddha would invite the demon to tea, and serve him as an honored guest. He offered the demon a cushion to sit comfortably, and then take his own seat next to him. The demon would only stay for a while, but then he would leave and all throughout the Buddha remained free, and undisturbed. Allowing, is how we actually get through something.

Tao Te Ching by Laozi (Author), Stephen Mitchell (Full Audiobook) Laozi Lao-tzu's Tao Te Ching, or Book of the Way, is the classic manual on the art of living, and one of the wonders of the world. In eighty-one brief chapters, the Tao Te Ching looks at the basic predicament of being alive and gives advice that imparts balance and perspective, a serene and generous spirit. This book is about wisdom in action. It teaches how to work for the good with the effortless skill that comes from being in accord with the Tao (the basic principle of the universe) and applies equally to good government and sexual love; to child rearing, business, and ecology.
