Impermanence And Ease

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 6/25/26 - Resistance to change often underlies our suffering and shows up in feelings such as anxiety, irritation, impatience and so on. As an essential teaching of the Buddha, impermanence calls on us to reflect and study this as the condition of all life, allowing us to loosen the tension, to accept what is true, and find ways to move in accord with things. (From the Book of Serenity, Case 75 - Ruiyan's "Constant Principle")
