So, I came across this gem below in my reading today. Sogyal Rinpoche was talking how things around us that seem so stable and lasting are neither of those things. Reality has a dreamlike quality and impermanence... The more we embrace that, the less suffering well endure. Relinquish the drive for control, have freedom. Contemplation of this dreamlike quality of reality need not in any way make us cold, hopeless, or embittered. On the contrary, it can open up in us a warm humor, a soft, strong compassion we hardly knew we possessed, and so more and more generosity toward all things and beings. [W]e no longer have to protect ourselves or pretend, and it becomes increasingly easy to do what one Tibetan master has advised: Always recognize the dreamlike qualities of life and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice good-heartedness toward all beings. Be loving and compassionate, no matter what others do to you. What they will do will not matter so much when you see it as a dream. The trick is to have positive intention during the dream. - The Tibetan Book of the Living and Dying. Im not a buddhist but I really enjoy learning about it. So beautiful!!
