MANY REASONS FOR RESISTING CHANGE
Equanimity • What it is NOT
– High emotion– Prejudice– Your personal opinion
• What it is – and attitude– Calm– Open– Curious – not attached to the outcome
• Monk’s description: inquiry without distortion (e.g. from emotion, concepts, prejudice or old-conditioning)
Happiness vs Equanimity AIM: Happiness • Want to be happy • Get happy • Get frightened of losing
being happy • Unhappy we aren’t
feeling happy SUMMARY: Obsessed with maintaining a feeling – may miss what is REALLY happening
AIM: Equanimity • Want to see clearly • Want to learn / reduce
suffering • Practice being
consistently calm & open
SUMMARY: Able to ‘ride the storm’ and see reality to work with it
