Accept impermanence with grace from "summary" of The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho
The nature of life is impermanent. Everything around us is constantly changing, and nothing remains the same. It is important to accept this impermanence with grace, for fighting against it will only bring suffering and frustration. When we resist change, we are essentially resisting the natural flow of life. This resistance causes us to hold on to things that are meant to be let go, leading to feelings of attachment and disappointment. By accepting impermanence with grace, we can learn to go with the flow of life and embrace the changes that come our way. Grace in accepting impermanence means letting go of our expectations and attachments to outcomes. It means understanding that everything in life is temporary, and that clinging to the past or worrying about the future only takes away from the present moment. By letting go of our attachments, we can free ourselves from unnecessary suffering and find peace in the present moment. Accepting impermanence with grace also means being open to new possibilities and opportunities that arise from change. Instead of seeing change as a negative force, we can learn to see it as a natural part of life that allows for growth and transformation. When we embrace change with an open heart and mind, we can discover new paths and experiences that we may have never imagined before. In the face of impermanence, it is essential to cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience. By accepting change with grace, we can develop a sense of equanimity that allows us to navigate life's ups and downs with greater ease and acceptance. Instead of being swept away by the turbulence of change, we can learn to ride the waves with grace and poise.- Accepting impermanence with grace is a practice that requires mindfulness, compassion, and self-awareness. By cultivating these qualities, we can learn to embrace the ever-changing nature of life with a sense of peace and serenity. In doing so, we can find freedom from the suffering that comes from holding on too tightly to what is fleeting and learn to live in harmony with the flow of life.
