Freedom Through Understanding and Acceptance: Buddhist Teachings on Patience (2020)

7-26-20

 

Patience comes out of understanding that each person and each situation is the way they are due to causes and conditions. Once one understands that everything including ourselves is the product of causes and conditions, we have the freedom to do things another way. In this moment, we can accept this reality as it is. How this moment is showing up is due to causes and conditions. In this place of understanding and acceptance, now there is space. Space in which there is room to make change, to respond to the world with wholesomeness, and to heal and transform.
