灰暗日子-坦然接受现实(1)

When life gets tough

 

What is

 

坦然接受现实

 

Buddha's famous saying tells us: “It is your resistance to ‘what is’ that causes your suffering."

 

佛教有句经典的话：“你的痛苦都源于对现实的抗拒。”

 

Think about that for a minute. It meansthat our suffering only occurs when we resist how things are. If you can change something, then take action!

 

好好想想这句话。这意味着只有当你不接受现实时才会产生痛苦。

 

Change it! But if you can't change it,then you have two choices: (1) either accept it and let go of the negativity,or (2) make yourself miserable¹ by obsessing² over it.
