Although Teacher Yuexin has been slightly troubled by otolith, she seems to be able to quickly adjust her state and achieve peaceful coexistence with otolith.
I think this is the temperament that an excellent yoga teacher should possess.
Afterwards, she shared about the matter of ‘suffering’, citing classics and discussing her personal views.
After reading it, she was very inspired.
Since ‘suffering’ already coexists with life, perhaps we also need to learn to get along with ‘suffering’, but it is just a change of mindset.
As the saying goes, take a step back from the vast sea and sky.
Here, it should be, with a different mindset, you can get closer to leisurely and carefree! The following article is from the Yuexin Meditation School, and the author, Yuexin Teacher Guimao, has been busy since the beginning of the year.
On the morning of the 15th, suddenly the sky and earth turned around.
I once heard a friend say that a disease is called otolith, which is the misalignment of the small stones responsible for balance and acceleration in the ear.
As a result, people experience hallucinations of weightlessness and directional movement, which is called dizziness.
I think it should be.
Go to the hospital for diagnosis and reduction treatment, but it’s not as easy as I imagined, and the doctor said that my dislocation is quite serious, there are multiple.
I have been feeling dizzy for several days and have cancelled my scheduled trip, but I still need to attend the scheduled classes.
Fortunately, dizziness does not affect class.
Instead, during class, due to focusing on class, one cannot feel dizzy.
I have rarely fallen ill in the past decade, and I am not used to it.
But I found that getting sick seems like an indispensable life experience, which helps me open up some unknown aspects of life.
For example, in my dizziness, I deeply felt the preciousness and fragility of my physical body for the first time.
When I went for treatment, I was in a state of dizziness.
Instinctively, I held onto the edge of the bed tightly, afraid of falling.
The doctor said, “Don’t be afraid, it’s just an illusion!” At that time, it was like drinking a stick in the face.
In the teaching of meditation, it is often necessary to help students understand that emotional fluctuations are essentially floating clouds.
This time, the personal experience is more authentic, and the human experience is not just an illusion, but people take it so seriously.
The more they persist in that feeling, the more they strengthen that feeling and become deeply immersed in it.
So, human feelings, at least to a strong extent, can be controlled by oneself.
One day, I suddenly thought, if this problem cannot be cured, I will often be accompanied by dizziness from now on.
Is it acceptable? At first, I thought it was quite scary.
After two more days of adaptation, I gradually realized that if it were really like that, it wouldn’t be much of a deal.
Perhaps due to long-term practice of yoga, I have strong awareness and control over my body.
I will find a position where I don’t feel uncomfortable and try to keep my head in that position as much as possible, so it’s okay.
This assumption also deepened my experience.
I remember in the Yoga Sutra that everything in the world is only suffering, and there are three types of suffering: bad suffering, suffering, and practice suffering.
Bad suffering refers to the suffering brought about by change, which is inevitable due to the impermanence of time and space, such as the passing of youth, or the departure of a previously desirable relationship.
The suffering of action is inevitable, whether it’s your suffering or someone else’s suffering.
To live, eating can kill, and walking can harm many microorganisms.
People need to work in the world.
If they strive for a project and win, their competitors will feel pain.
If they lose, they will feel pain.
If a person takes advantage, there will be a loser.
In a world of binary opposition, every action brings suffering.
And hardship refers to the pain that, like the shadow of fate, cannot be let go or dissolved.
Anything that can be solved is not hardship.
Illness and cure are not bitter.
But if one day – or from the beginning of life – we need to carry the pain or regret forward – such as when Bocelli was completely blind at the age of 12, and when what needs to be carried can no longer be unloaded, the pain that accompanies us and cannot be abandoned is suffering.
Who has no unbearable hardships in their lives when they reach middle age? The hardships brought by parents, children, and partners who cannot choose their relationship, including the hardships of birth, aging, illness, and death.
There is no solution.
Or rather, not everything in our lives has a solution.
This is the imperfection of life.
If a person indulges in this imperfection and constantly struggles, escapes, resists, and questions, constantly searching for some unattainable perfection, that is the true suffering.
Practicing yoga is a way of enjoying oneself without suffering.
But practicing yoga cannot help people avoid the three hardships of life.
On the 15th day of the first lunar month, Master Xingyun passed away.
For 56 years in his life, he suffered from diabetes and other diseases.
The late spiritual teacher Swami Veda, who inherited Himalayan yoga, also suffered from diseases.
The reason why they are saints is not that they do not need to experience the suffering of ordinary people, but that they can maintain spiritual independence and detachment in larger and more suffering, not be bound by suffering, not indulge in suffering, and surpass the suffering of the world with a transcendent state of mind.
That undisturbed joy and peace is the ability cultivated.
If you can’t solve a problem, go with it.
Take off the burden that cannot be carried, and shoulder it with them.
The practice of yoga is a tribute to the existence itself.
And acceptance is the courage to walk side by side with imperfection.
When we finally acknowledge the imperfections of life itself, when we truly allow that imperfection to become a part of life, a part of us, then life unfolds perfectly towards us.
