Title

Practice as Usual

Description

Change it from thinking about Mr. Trump, to observing what’s happening in your mind, or watch your feelings so you don’t get pulled into the thoughts. When you see Trump talking on TV or wherever, go straight to the understanding that “This is just seeing” and “This is just hearing.” Instead of identifying with concepts like “This is Trump” or “Trump is so horrible,” instead, go straight to the reality which is, “This is seeing,” “This is hearing.” If peace comes to your mind even while Trump is talking, you’re a pretty good yogi. (By the way, Americans have had Trump for the past four years, but in some countries people have been living with this kind of thing for decades!)
