We look around and see that there are brief moments of happiness and lots of struggle. Wars, violence, conflict, environmental destruction, sickness; it seems we are born into endless struggle. But maybe life is not the problem. It is just life. We long for relief, and there is much we can do to help ourselves and our community. We can develop skills and qualities such as steadiness, compassion and joy of life, that help us meet uncertainty. In addition, we can develop and access a more transcendent perspective, in which we take the pains of samsara less personally. Nondual Dharma invites us to see life as perfect just as it is and yet transform the way we receive it moment by moment.
