The approach is that the best way to use unwanted circumstances on the path of enlightenment is not to resist but to lean into them.
Enlightenment is a direct experience with reality.
If there's any possibility for enlightenment, it's right now, not at some future time. Now is the time.
Whatever is happening is the path to enlightenment.
Every day is a new opportunity to work with what you have inside toward enlightenment.
