    Sit-A-LONG with JUNDO: CHANGING HEART, CHANGING TIRES



    A little homework assignment for you, an experiment to help you discover the power of this Practice to change life.

    It is something to try even if you are new to this Practice, or if you have a lot of miles down the Zen road.

    It is also a litmus test, a demonstration of the ability of this Practice to work great change in your life right now.

    Oh, this little act won't fix all the problems in your life, and won't even change a flat tire. You still will have to grab a jack and get to work.

    But it can completely change how we experience and react to all circumstances, including detours and crashes and obstacles on life's bumpy road.

    Can you find the switch within ... even if you need to "fake it until make it" a bit ... to turn your resistance into acceptance, your desires into satisfaction, your disturbance into peace?

    When you find that switch, the problems in life will be just the same as always ... yet as different as different can be.

    Your assignment is to flip that switch to change one's whole attitude in that moment. Flip it back and forth, moving between disappointment and contentment, upset and peace, anger and joy ... on and off, switching back and forth a few times in emotions and attitude, good to bad to good and back again ... (even if you must simply pretend that you are better at doing so than you now are. Perhaps some real feeling will emerge just from the play acting).

    As I said, problems in your life and in this world will remain. Some may just vanish when the heart drops resistance (many a problem ain't no problem if we merely come to feel "no problem"). For other problems however ... from the small things in life to the biggest issues and injustices that this world faces ... there will still be a lot of work to do, and many things to fix, but our non-resistant attitude will help us to do what needs to be done.

    It is a lesson I have learned in my life many times, and in countless problems, whereby changing the heart is as easy as changing an old tire.
