the aim is not to get rid of a thought but simply to see it for what it is—a string of words—and to let it come, stay, and go in its own good time; neither struggling with it nor getting dominated by it.

Practicing to realize nondiscrimination, to see the interconnectedness and impermanence of all things, and to share this wisdom with others, we are giving the gift of nonfear. Everything is impermanent. This moment passes. That person walks away. Happiness is still possible.
