Скачать или смотреть Not Resisting Anything: Not Even Boredom

This exploration explores the concept of boredom and our tendency to resist it. Often, we go to great lengths to avoid boredom, engaging in various activities or distractions. However, what is boredom really? The invitation here is to pause and investigate. Meditation can serve as a valuable tool in this inquiry. Through meditation, we sit in silence and simply observe the arising of boredom, or any other experience, without attempting to escape or suppress it. Instead, we approach boredom with curiosity, as if encountering it for the first time. Imagine coming from another planet and encountering boredom without any preconceived notions of it being undesirable. This perspective allows us to inquire into the true nature of boredom, asking ourselves, "What is boredom?"
This practice extends beyond boredom and can be applied to other aspects of our experience, such as physical pain or difficult emotions. We bring the same type of inquiry to these experiences, exploring their true nature and observing our tendency to resist or run away from them. Often, we find ourselves desiring a different moment, resisting the present one. It is essential to recognize that even our resistance and non-acceptance have a divine quality. The part of us that seeks to escape is not inherently wrong or unholy. Can we extend love and acceptance to that part of ourselves that longs to avoid discomfort? Every experience is an expression of consciousness, just as every wave is an expression of the ocean. No wave is a mistake. Thus, in meditation and daily life, we do not seek to eliminate waves or change ourselves fundamentally. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with us.
