Well-being Without Well-being
In this time that is characterized by the Covid-19 pandemic, we are called to cultivate resilience and optimism. This optimism is not one that is based on a certain outcome but is based in a willingness to meet life as it is. It’s hard to meet life without a view but when we can see life from a dharma point of view, we can hold it all — the suffering, the joy, the uncertainty, the ease, the anxiety. The well-being of the Buddha is not based on conditions but instead a well-being that’s lodged in the unconditional.
