The practices of loving kindness, compassion and equanimity offer no promise of a happy ending. These practices are not about avoiding uncertainty and fear but how we relate to discomfort. They teach us how to practice with everyday encounters, and with our emotions.
There is a great comfort in being part of something that is not tied to a place or state. These teachings are not regulated to the material level, and they can never be taken away from us. Putting these teachings into our everyday practice they will be understood by all races and nations.
Attachment prevents the growth of one’s true being. Loving, hating, and expectations are all attachments. Stay attached to nothing and you can relate to everyone with an unstructured attitude. Staying unattached you can benefit all things, simply learning and being.
Look at things exactly as they are and when faced with an obstacle rather than plunging ahead be patient, otherwise you may become agitated. Patience is not mere empty hoping; it has the inner certainty of reaching your goal regardless how insurmountable the situation is.
