Worry - Daily Tao Series

This series is called ‘Daily Tao’. Chinese symbols taken from the book ‘Tao Daily Meditations’ by Deng Ming-Dao. The book was given to me by a dear friend, and former lover. I enjoy picking it up and reading the entries, finding something new to take from them each time.

From ‘Tao Daily Meditations’ on worry:

Worry is an addiction
That interferes with compassion.

Worry is a problem that seems to be rampant. Perhaps it is due to the nature of our overly advanced civilization; perhaps it is a measure or our own spiritual degeneracy. Whatever the source, it is clear that worry is not useful. It is a cancer of the emotions – concern gone compulsive. It eats away at body and mind.

It does no good to say, ‘Don’t think about it.’ You’ll only worry more. It is far better to keep walking your path, changing what you can. The rest must be dissolved in compassion. In this world of infants with immune deficiencies, racial injustice, economic imbalance, personal violence, and international conflict, it is impossible to address everyone’s concerns. Taking care of yourself and doing something good for those whom you meet is enough. That is compassion, and we must exercise it even in the face of the overwhelming odds.

If we all did this, what would our world be like….......?

    Astonishing stones Jen .. and a marvellous photo series!!!
    It is so interesting that the worry mandala reminds one of a cell.. where one is confined and crushed inwardly by cares and worries whereas the laughter mandala is like openness and joy flung outwards – the polar opposite to this one.

  • JenLand replied

    Wow, so very true now that you mention it Ken! Wonderful obeservation, thank you so much for sharing that here! And thank you for having a look. :o)

    nice…i began drawing on stones a short time ago:)

  • JenLand replied

    Thanks! I’m glad you stopped by for a look. :o) It’s a bit of a challenge sometimes with the curve and surface on the stones isn’t it? But there’s something so grounding about working with them. :o)

  • Kseniya Beliaeva

    Kseniya Beliaeva
