Contentment

✍️Wendy Brown, Lic. Ac.

Contentment is important basis for physical and mental well-being. Worrying about a problem before it has manifested, or after it has, clinging to what has already passed, will drain the chance to live in peace and joy, harmoniously in the present. Instead, adopt a detached attitude toward comings and goings; checking emotions, content in what is present.

Keep a calm, cheerful Heart, and mind free of worries. In this way our apprehensions will come to nothing and every virtue drops into our hands.

Leaves fall, where no green earth remains. A person at ease wears this plain, white robe. With simplicity and plainness one’s original nature is still. Therefore, what need is there to practice “Calming of the Heart?”

Chia-Tao 779-843

Buddhist poet of the middle Tang dynasty
