Today's Daily Dharma: The Mere Fact of Being

The Mere Fact of Being
 
It is precisely our recognition of life’s inevitable hardships, along with our uprooting of the attachment that exacerbates them, that allows us to appreciate the mere fact of being. Suffering and its unwholesome causes are not to be escaped but to be confronted—and eventually transformed into wisdom and compassion.

- Rev. Patti Nakai, "Someone Is Jealous of You"
