The Wisdom of Dissatisfaction
from Wild Heart Meditation Center · host Andrew Chapman
Often times we develop clarity and wisdom through the most challenging aspects of our lives. As we embark on a contemplative path of practice, we learn to tune into more moments of experience and investigate the nature of dissatisfaction in the mind. Although we will never rid our lives of painful physical, emotional, or mental experiences, through practice, we learn that we can, indeed, come to liberate ourselves from the very habits that perpetuate further depths of dissatisfaction and distress -- the "extra" suffering. The Buddha discussed the importance of fully knowing the wide breadth of our humanity -- the pleasure & pain, gain & loss, and beauty & tragedy of our lives. Learning to embrace the existential reality: we are susceptible to woundedness, but we don't have to wound ourselves.
