The
Buddha spoke of learning how to be deeply happy right here and now, no

of our own impending illness, aging, and death can be encompassed with
the wisdom to acknowledge that all things change, to accept that there
is no essence underlying it all, and nevertheless to be able to meet
each moment without clinging to anything in the world.
—Andrew Olendzki, “A Modest Awakening”
