How do we contemplate ultimate nirvana? In daily life, we must understand that avoiding vexing situations is not appropriate—running away does no good. Neither does self-deception, or pretending that the situation dose not exist. It is best to accept situations without vexation, and deal with them calmly. Of course this is difficult to do. But even though we are nowhere near ultimate nirvana, we can still adopt the ways and attitudes of a buddha.
