NOTE

Allow Sorrow

Suffering is an inherent part of the human experience, and acknowledging it is the first step toward relief. By allowing sorrow to exist without resistance, one can cultivate compassionate attention to that suffering. This approach leads to a profound sense of peace that doesn't negate the suffering but exists alongside it, shifting the focus from pain to a deeper state of compassion, wonder, and joy. The motivation to stay present with suffering stems from the understanding that leaving it creates even deeper suffering. The process unfolds in four steps: acknowledge suffering, direct compassionate attention towards it, follow compassion to its source, and maintain this practice consistently.
