This Cup Is Already Broken


One day Ajahn Chah held up a beautiful Chinese tea cup:

“To me this cup is already broken. Because I know its fate, I can enjoy it fully here and now. And when it’s gone, it’s gone.” When we understand the truth of uncertainty and relax, we become free. The broken cup helps us see beyond our illusion of control.

~ From “The Wisdom of Uncertainty” by Jack Kornfield
