Episode #22 — Right Thinking or Right View
I cannot overstate this: when we remember that everything is impermanent and has a beginning and an end, nothing will be able to upset our happiness and peace. What could? This we will call Right Understanding or Right View. We must develop this through knowing the facts with our minds and giving mental assent and then knowing the truth of this by experiencing it deep in our understanding. Think of it this way: if everything is changing all the time, everything beginning and ending at different rates and different times, then we live in a swirl of change, a cloud of emerging and dissapating. Including us. However, in our minds we can stand within the tornado of change and knowing it is all changing, we simply do not suffer at all. Why? Because we know the truth: Everything will be different in a moment and that is the way things are and how they shall always be in this reality.
