Shi Miao Hai - Let Go and Enjoy


I learned today that life can be like a roller coaster.


It always goes up and down, to the right and to the left, just
like in life; sometimes we have many friends, sometimes we have
little to laugh about, sometimes we have a lot of money,
sometimes little, sometimes we are very lucky, sometimes not.


Often we deprive ourselves of the joy of life by holding on to
conditions even though they are constantly changing.


So the art of life (if you want to enjoy the roller coaster ride)
is to simply let go and put your hands up, we stay in our center
and enjoy the ride, simply because we want to enjoy the moment.


Neither past nor future, but simply letting go and enjoying is
the order of the day.


If we tense up and hold on the roller coaster, we would hold on
to the worries and feelings, and not just let these things flow
on. In order to find back to our inner center, we need to find
ways to get things flowing again, so that we are not living in
the past or the future, but also so that life can really flow.


In these stormy times, with many imponderables, more and more
people are looking for a foothold in life. Here the teaching of
the historical Buddha can become an anchor and a harbor. The core
of the teaching is the journey to "awakening".


This journey begins, like every journey, with a small step.


Do you want to take this step? Just the first one? And then see
how you feel about it, what your feelings are, what mood moves
you, how your contemplation is reflected, whether the path
"nestles at your feet"?


Let go and enjoy!


ALL CREATURES EXCEPT HUMANS KNOW THAT THE MAIN PURPOSE OF LIFE IS
TO ENJOY IT.
