Embrace the wisdom of living fully from "summary" of The Zen of Living and Dying by Philip Kapleau
Living fully means being present in every moment, fully engaged in whatever we are doing, whether it is eating a meal, talking to a friend, or simply sitting quietly. It means being aware of our thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, without judgment or attachment. This kind of mindfulness allows us to appreciate the richness and beauty of life, even in the most mundane activities. Embracing the wisdom of living fully also entails accepting the impermanence of life. Everything is constantly changing, and nothing lasts forever. This understanding can help us let go of our attachment to things, people, and situations, and find peace in the present moment. When we stop resisting the inevitable changes in our lives, we can experience a deeper sense of freedom and connection to the world around us. Living fully also means living in harmony with ourselves and others. This involves cultivating qualities such as compassion, kindness, and patience, which can help us navigate the challenges and conflicts that arise in our relationships. By developing these virtues, we can create a more loving and supportive environment for ourselves and those around us, leading to greater happiness and fulfillment.- Embracing the wisdom of living fully is about approaching life with an open heart and mind, ready to learn and grow from every experience. It is about being curious, courageous, and willing to face the unknown with grace and resilience. By living in this way, we can find joy and meaning in even the most difficult circumstances, and live our lives to the fullest.
