Summer is not endless. Days get shorter. Everything is impermanent, and change comes naturally, whether we notice or not. Unless, of course, we decide to change.
As another hot summer comes to an end, we may find ourselves feeling a bit tired, like the weight of the world is on our shoulders. If we feel like we have nothing left to give, it is easy to feel cranky and frustrated.
But we can learn to change our mind from negative to positive with meditation. For example, the practice of developing real compassion for others is a great way to stay uplifted and energized. With compassion, we can hold on to our best qualities and let our good nature shine, even when we're not feeling our best.
By applying effort, cultivating our own good heart, and relying upon the clear advice of modern Kadampa Buddhism, we can definitely learn how to develop and maintain a happy and compassionate mind towards others. With practice, we can move beyond unpleasant states of mind, even when we're tired.
Everyone is welcome!
