Sooner or later

September 15, 2014
 

Anxiety is the illness of our age.
We worry about ourselves, our family,
our friends, our work, and our state of the world.
If we allow worry to fill our hearts,
sooner or later we will get sick.

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

    I totally agree our country is going through the referendum at the moment and it's not a nice place to live we are all very anxious about the outcome it's causing conflict between us all because of where we were born it's so sad even when the count is in whichever way it goes people will not be happy, and I can see us leaving because of it…

    We do have choice and options as to how we feel about each moment, each experience. How? Before going into well-conditioned, automatic (and unconscious) reaction about a situation or experience, we only have to pause, relax with deep rhythmic breaths, and refocus upon our intention and purpose in each moment. Ask the question, "how do I intentionally and purposefully wish to perceive myself, my feelings and my life?" "Do I benefit by being upset, worried, frustrated, anxious, sad, depressed, angry?" "What other feelings would I prefer for the next multiples of 17 seconds, up to 68 seconds?" Then, choose a beneficial feeling that uplifts and expands the moments of joy and gratitude. Remember, suffering through unpleasant emotions and automatic reactions is OPTIONAL! And, there is the potential for an unlimited number of options – some of which are quite beneficial and pleasant! We do indeed have choice, when we take the time to pause and reflect upon the expanding number of options available to us! Blessings! Namaste!

    +Reverend Steve Pastor DD RMT yeah, but its partial., root cause is fear, feel of missing attention or loosing some thing , it can be overcome only if person realises n admit the same and practice it to controll or overcome. Near by people or family play a big role.

    JMS , Thanks, you are highlighting these common unresolved but very important issues . Experince sharing can play important role to overcome come these type of neglected health points.

    Through you i request to participate people in this who knows solution with their observation or experience.

    +sanjeev adukia, your perspective exposes some of the options available for choosing – options that are "out there" caused. We only have to reflect in our quiet, relaxing pause, on whether choosing "out there" causation ("others around us limit our options with their words and actions") is beneficial. It truly is in that moment of PAUSE that we are able to reflect upon the potential options we can access. Without that PAUSE, we are likely (yes, I do it as well) to react immediately, unconsciously and automatically with our usual emotions, words and actions.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

A Handful of Leaves

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.

Problems we face today

Of the many problems we face today, some are natural calamities and must be accepted and faced with equanimity. Others, however, are of our own making, created by misunderstanding, and can be corrected...
