Bhante Vimalaramsi - 6Rs

One thing that many people have a problem understanding is that the
6R's is not a process to make things be the way we want them to be!
The 6R's are not a stick used to beat and "make" things change
"NOOOOO" The 6R's are for showing us how to allow the tightness and
pain to be there without getting involved with making it change.
Change will come when we allow the space for it to arise by itself.
The problems most people have is their expectations that they want
things to happen in their own time. And they become disenchanted with
the 6R's when things don't occur in the way we want them to. But the
6R's are not a control but an education device to show us how craving
and clinging actually works and it teaches us patience. WHich by the
way leads to nibbana! Hahaha! Anyway I hope this helps somewhat. As
always if it is not clear please don't hesitate to ask again. Smiles
and happiness to you always!
