the reality is that we are safe

 

When we’re holding

the mental formations of despair

and suffering, we can look and see that 

this has been born from that; suffering is born

because we are in touch with an image from

the past. The reality is that we are safe,

and we have the capacity to enjoy

the wonders of life in the

present moment.

 

When we recognize

that our suffering is based on images

instead of current reality, then living happily

in the present moment becomes

possible right away.
