"No matter how many years you meditate, you never really understand the teaching. The direct way of seeing things now that whatever arises passes away, doesn't mean that you are throwing anything away. It means that you are looking from a perspective of what's here and now, rather than looking for something that's not here."
In this thought-provoking episode of 'Tumi's Daily Grind', Tumi Dumasi takes listeners on a reflective journey through the teachings of Ajahn Sumedho. Drawing from the book 'The Way It Is', Tumi reads a passage that has deeply resonated with her, particularly the idea that 'everything that arises, passes away'. This concept, which has been her WhatsApp status for quite some time, invites us to reconsider how we perceive ourselves and our actions.
Ajahn Sumedho's reflection challenges the notion of self-conception, suggesting that seeing oneself as someone who must do something to become something else can be a mental trap. Instead, he encourages a focus on the present moment and an understanding that all things are transient. Tumi shares how this perspective has influenced her own journey towards sobriety and mental well-being. She emphasizes the importance of living in the here and now, rather than chasing after what isn't present.
By integrating these teachings into her daily life, Tumi finds inspiration and motivation to maintain a healthy, sober lifestyle. This episode is a heartfelt blend of personal experience and spiritual insight, offering listeners valuable reflections on mindfulness and the nature of impermanence.
