At times the world seems so chaotic, as though everything is spinning beyond our control.
These are the moments that invite us to settle more deeply into our practice and remember what truly brings stability.
It is not the things we spend so much of our lives accumulating. Not money. Not possessions. Not status. Not the endless hours devoted to work. These are all temporary, and when we cling to them, they become sources of attachment and suffering.
One of my teachers often reminded us:
Whatever begins must end. What is born must die. Whatever starts must eventually stop.
In Buddhism, we learn early in our practice that impermanence is the nature of all things.
