Buddha said" what is suffering is being united with what you don't want and being separated from what you want". Can you prevent things from change? So what I can do is stop delighting in pleasant change and stop trying to outrun the unpleasant change. Grateful to you Bhanthe for these explanations.
pay close attention to all things impartially, don't seek shelter or identity in impermanent phenomena, see the danger in that volition of seeking shelter or identity like that. avoid passion, avoid extremes. investigate the cycle of the beginning and ending of phenomena and how it depends on causes and conditions. don't stay on the intellectual dimension of this practice, be genuine and honest with yourself. also, study the dhamma and ideally seek a qualified teacher.
“If somebody becomes afraid of reflecting death, because they come to reflect upon the level of what the idea “death” is. they aren’t actually reflecting on “the fear” of what death is in first place.” ❤️😌
Dear Bhante! "That's what change is: the fundamental non-control, that affects you." It seems that I still have traces of the notion in my mind, that aniccatā is some kind of hidden change that I somehow need to dig out. I now realize that I have to thoroughly abandon that. Could one say that aniccatā is rather this non-controllabilty of things I always already and fundamentally base my personality on, especially the body and the senses? When I contemplate in this way the unpleasantness of this non-control manifests, it affects me, as you say. Yadaniccaṃ taṃ dukkhaṃ, "What is impermanent, is unpleasant." Could one say that not becoming distracted from, i.e. remaining mindful of this unpleasantness of non-control of the fundamental things, enduring it and seeing it as the danger implicit in any possible holding or assumption of it leads to the disowning of it, turning away from it?
Venerables, I can’t tell you how helpful all of your Dhamma desanas have been. Sadhu 3x!
Such great teaching. Thank you 🙏🙏
Craving toward or against, we will get burned either way. Really appreciate the teachings here. Thank you.

Yes, people fear rejection because they have an insecure attachment.
Not necessarily everyone fears rejection or needs approval.
In the word's of Woody Allen: "I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens!"

Yes, that's pretty much it.
you guys are too good... have you researched into sacred evolutionary tools.... Bravo...
If we are practise dhamma much more we would not fear the death and encouter the death by pleasant heart.

Deepest gratitude. Is it like if you're ready for death, you wouldn't still be inhabiting the body?
