Why the Buddhists have this sh*t all figured out

I was reading about a Buddhist monk who was highly revered in Tibet.

Every day one of his students would ask him,

“How are you?”

and every single day the monk would respond

“I’m OK”.

So one day the student asked

“Why are you always OK? Aren’t you ever feeling good or bad?”

to which the monk replied

“Of course I feel good and bad, but when I’m good I’m OK and when I’m bad I’m also OK”.

I love that little story because it reminds us that everything is always OK in the end. Right, you have to repeat a test or you’re sick or whatever. Your girlfriend dumped you. But it’s OK. You’re struggling to find something you truly love, you don’t have any money, whatever — you still have clothes and a computer and water and food and a roof over your head right? It will all be OK.

Many Buddhist ideologies encourage us to stop categorizing feelings as being good or bad. In Buddhism, suffering, pleasure, happiness, sadness etc. are all just seen as equal feelings. They’re just feelings and don’t need to be thought of as being good or bad. They simply are what they are. Try to spend a whole day without ‘judging’ anything that happens. Next time you spill ketchup all over your white shirt, or when your bus is 30 minutes late, just be neutral and smile ☺

‘When we stop judging everything that happens as well as everyone we come into contact with, we become so much happier because our happiness isn’t then reliant upon external factors that are out of our control.’ — Me.

Challenge:

Declare “Today I will not judge anything that happens” and then be mindful to follow that declaration no matter what. Do not judge any person you see (even if they have a “weird” hairstyle or dress sense) any situation you see unfolding or any news you receive. Stay completely neutral and internally joyful to everything that happens today and accept that the world is perfect in its creation. Be thankful for the fresh oxygen available to us in infinite abundance, notice how good it feels to take a deep breath and fill your body with amazing fresh air! Be watchful for how others allow their mood and their happiness to be influenced completely by random events throughout the day while you are content just to be in the moment and aware of your joy of living.
