Transforming Problems Into Happiness

Leave the mind in its natural, undisturbed state. Don't follow thoughts of "This is a problem, that is a problem!" Without labeling difficulties as problems, leave your mind in its natural state. In this way, you will stop seeing miserable conditions as problems.

"-Lama Zopa Rinpoche, "Transforming Problems Into Happiness"

James's comment: This is a great teaching. When ever I have just seen problems as normal events (no better, no less then any other event) I have been more able to let them slip from the grip of attachment. This helps me address these "problems" with less panic and fear and move on.

-Peace to all beings-
