No Resistance

I suffer because I want my experience to be something other than it is. But if I can accept and be with my experience as it is in this moment, I will not suffer. Rather, I will be contented and at peace. I will be happy. This is the essential wisdom of the East: to not resist life as it unfolds in this moment, to not grasp for something more or other than what the present moment offers, to simply accept what is in this moment, is to be happy, peaceful, and free from suffering.
