Everything That Rises, Softly Falls
Essays on the Gentle Truth of ImpermanenceBy Margaret MeloniRecorded TrackLength39m
About this audiobook
One of our most challenging lessons as humans is to acknowledge that things will change. There is a proverb, “Man plans and God laughs.”
Have you ever noticed how everything around you is in flux? In Buddhism, impermanence teaches you that change is the only true constant. By welcoming this ever-shifting nature of life, you open yourself up to freedom and inner calm.
This collecrions of essays will help you use the small things, like the life cycle of a flower, to prepare you for something like street closures on your commute. In turn, shifting traffic patterns helps you practice handling other surprises. Each time something is different from what you expected, you receive an opportunity to practice for sickness, aging, and death.
Everything That Rises, Softly Falls, lets the truth of impermanence free you from attachment. Releasing what no longer serves you brings presence—and in presence, your life will unfold.
