Go Beyond Good and Bad
Fortune and misfortune, good and bad””not everything is how it looks to your eyes. It’s not how you think it is either. We’ve got to go beyond fortune and misfortune, good and bad.
– Kodo Sawaki Roshi, “To You”

“Childhood is something great. In childhood the mind is pure, tender and receptive. If we impart good education to our children, become selfless examples for them, and give them love, perhaps they will grow and become the best citizens of the world. Then, the whole universe will bloom like a flower.”
– Swami Rama, Let the Bud of Life Bloom: A Guide to Raising Happy and Healthy Children

A common pleasant feeling refers to the ordinary pleasures we are capable of experiencing through the gratification of the senses. Some things look really good, sound wonderful, taste and smell delicious, feel smooth and cool to the touch, and are great to think about. An uncommon pleasant feeling is the sort encountered during some meditation practices. In both cases it is okay to be closely aware of pleasure.

Growing Through
Even on a small scale in daily life situations, such as when we feel bored or ill at ease, instead of trying to avoid these feelings by staying busy or buying another fancy gadget, we learn to look more clearly at our impulses, attitudes, and defenses. In this way dukkha guides and deepens our motivation to the point where we’ll say, ‘Enough running, enough walls, I’ll grow through handling my blocks and lost places.’
– Ajahn Sucitto, “From Turning the Wheel of Truth: Commentary on the Buddha’s First Teaching”
