Daily General Discussion - February 15, 2020

This is for /u/jtnichol from the most Venerable lagofjesus, but it might help others who got fucked over the past few months with a truer perspective...

Practice to 'abandon welcoming and rebelling':

"Now, gain arises... He reflects, 'Gain has arisen for me. It is inconstant, stressful, & subject to change.' He discerns it as it actually is.

"Loss arises... Status arises... Disgrace arises... Censure arises... Praise arises... Pleasure arises... Pain arises...

"His mind does not remain consumed with the gain... the loss...

"He does not welcome the arisen gain, or rebel against the arisen loss. He does not welcome the arisen status, or rebel against the arisen disgrace. He does not welcome the arisen praise, or rebel against the arisen censure. He does not welcome the arisen pleasure, or rebel against the arisen pain. As he thus abandons welcoming & rebelling, he is released from birth, aging, & death; from sorrows, lamentations, pains, distresses, & despairs. He is released, I tell you, from suffering & stress.
