Man frees himself from the world, its ills,
its suffering, its chaos simply by seeing
the absurdity of it all.

– Ramesh S. Balsekar

Over the years, in working with people who are grieving, I’ve encouraged them first of all to surrender to the experience of their pain. To counteract our natural tendency to turn away from pain, we open to it as fully as possible and allow our hearts to break. We must take enough time to remember our losses – be they friends or loved ones passed away, the death of long-held hopes or dreams, the loss of homes, careers, or countries, or health we may never get back again. Rather than close ourselves to grief, it helps to realize that we only grieve for what we love. Ram Dass

December 14th – Ram Dass Sharing

December 14, 2014
When your realization of emptiness becomes as vast as the sky, you will gain an even greater conviction about the law of cause and effect, and you will see just how important your conduct really is. Relative truth functions inexorably within absolute truth.

– Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
