Eight Wordly Conditions Teaching

Gain/loss, fame/ disrepute, praise/blame, pleasure/pain.

I tend to focus on accepting the unpleasantries which I avoid, but it’s equally important to not get caught up into the pleasant things we seek. Anyone else feel similarly? It’s not about not enjoying life when it’s pleasant, but rather about reifying, obsessing, and trying to recreate pleasure. Once it’s experienced, we can let it go. And in order to be free from suffering, we also need to be free of desire.
