Change, Part 4: The Dhukkha of Unwelcome Change
We all have those experiences where a change occurs that we’d rather not have had happen. It can be a change to your health, someone dying, someone leaving you in a marriage or relationship, or you’re laid off your job. So many kinds of change can elicit dukkha, or suffering. We can then look to the teaching of the First Noble Truth: that we will acknowledge with mindfulness and compassion that unwelcome change happens.
