Three Methods For Working With Chaos
Posted by Ken Lauher
There are three practical ways for relating with difficult circumstances as the path of awakening and joy: no more struggle, poison as medicine, and regarding everything that arises as the manifestation of wisdom.
The first method is epitomized by meditation instruction. Whatever arises in our minds we look at directly, call it "thinking," and go back to the simplicity and immediacy of the breath.
When we encounter difficulties in our lives, we can continue to train in this way. We can drop the story line, slow down enough to just be present, let go of the multitude of judgments and schemes, and stop struggling.
Second, we can use poison as fuel for waking up. In general, this idea is introduced to use with tonglen. Instead of pushing difficult situations away, we can use them to connect with other people who, just like us, often find themselves in pain.
As one slogan puts it, "When the world is filled with evil, transform all mishaps into the path of enlightenment."
The third method for working with chaos is to regard whatever arises as the manifestation of awakened energy. We can regard ourselves as already awake; we can regard our world as already sacred. This view further encourages us to use everything in our lives as the basis for attaining enlightenment.
The world we find ourselves in, the person we think we are - these are our working bases. This charnel ground called life is the manifestation of wisdom.
This wisdom is the basis of freedom and also the basis of confusion. In every moment, we make a choice: Which way do we go? How do we relate with the raw material of our existence?
