Don’t Look Away: The Quiet Courage of Acceptance

In Buddhist teachings there is a concept of “five remembrances” — five challenging aspects of life we must come to terms with, which can help us to better embrace our life here and now. In this autumn season of death and dying, what can we remember and learn to accept with quiet courage and insight, to inspire our ongoing life.

“Enlightened Interdependence”

When we are born, we are utterly dependent on parents and caretakers, who provide us the sustenance and support we need to survive and thrive. In adolescence we strive for independence, and the courage to pursue our dreams. As adults we may imagine, or declare ourselves, independent. However, some say true maturity means acknowledging our dependence on others, and finding the courage to ask for help. If you would like to join our service via Zoom, please click here.

“The Courage of Love in the Face of Fear; A Blueprint for Action”

Courage begins in the trembling place where fear lives. How do we act even if fearful of knowing our true selves, or of the power of bullies, or of the strangeness of other groups? Fear becomes the very ground from which courage grows. Love’s staying power fuels our courageous faithful leap toward justice, inclusion, authenticity, and peace. A wise anonymous writer has opined, “Fear is a teacher; don’t skip class.” If you would like to join our service via Zoom, please click here.
