Embrace the wisdom of acceptance from "summary" of The Dalai Lama's Little Book of Inner Peace by Dalai Lama XIV Bstan-ʼdzin-rgya-mtsho
To embrace the wisdom of acceptance is to recognize and acknowledge the reality of each moment as it unfolds. It is to let go of our resistance to what is, and instead, cultivate a mindset of openness and receptivity to whatever comes our way. This does not mean that we passively resign ourselves to fate, but rather, that we approach life with a sense of equanimity and understanding. Acceptance is not about condoning or approving of everything that happens; rather, it is about acknowledging the truth of our experience without judgment or attachment. When we resist reality, we create unnecessary suffering for ourselves. By accepting things as they are, we free ourselves from the burden of trying to control the uncontrollable. True acceptance requires humility and a willingness to surrender our ego-driven desires for how we think things should be. It is a practice of surrendering to the inherent uncertainty and impermanence of life, and finding peace in the midst of chaos. When we embrace acceptance, we cultivate resilience and inner strength, allowing us to navigate life's ups and downs with grace and dignity. Acceptance does not mean that we passively accept injustice or harm; rather, it is about accepting the reality of a situation so that we can respond to it with clarity and wisdom. It is about seeing things as they are, rather than as we wish them to be. In this way, acceptance is a powerful tool for cultivating inner peace and promoting harmony in our relationships with others. When we embrace the wisdom of acceptance, we open ourselves up to the possibility of growth and transformation. We let go of our attachments to fixed outcomes and allow ourselves to flow with the ever-changing currents of life. In this way, acceptance becomes a gateway to liberation and true inner peace.
