That doesn t mean that we don t love, that we don t grieve for our loved ones. It means that we re not dependent on our perceptions of our mother and father, children or close friends. We re not dependent on them being who we think they are, we no longer believe that our happiness depends on their love for us, or their not leaving, not dying. We re able to surrender to the rhythm of life and death, to the natural law, the Dhamma of birth, ageing, sickness, and death.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExcerpt from \u003cem\u003eThe Way Beyond Fear\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhat would it be like if we never got old? What if we never got sick, or if we never died? Could we really love each other if we were here forever? Through our own mortality we learn to love; through our darkest suffering, we are taken beyond suffering; by being exposed to our own extinction, we can realise that within us which is indestructible. Trusting each moment, even in the midst of the most terrifying conditions, we awaken in ourselves the possibility to live with complete trust. We grow more vulnerable and, at the same time, more fearless, not taking refuge in sorrow. We learn how to live, and how to die, and how to embrace our joy and our pain.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"iframe-container\"\u003e \u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/558553849?quality=1080p\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=15p8ZBT4zd8-YvvI4dT7AHxQ_Ip_Rg3FI';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', ' Joy Hidden in Sorrow _SingleMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Single File (24MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003cinput type=\"button\" onclick=\"window.location='https:\/\/drive.google.com\/uc?export=download\u0026amp;id=1VOa5mduckNUCVt1pfOZnnPd5fjSGnQwe';_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Downloads', 'audiobooks_audio', ' Joy Hidden in Sorrow _ChaptersMP3']);\" name=\"Add\" value=\"Download Chapters (24MB)\" class=\"btn\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/6CDyzSpr2gQ\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"youtube_link\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView on YouTube\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/Audiobooks_c_40.html\"\u003eCheck out our complete audiobook catalog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe are grateful to the volunteers who offered their time and skills creating this product so that we can offer it freely.
