You Can Learn Not To Want What You Want, To Recognize Desires But Not Be Controlled By Them.

Somewhere In This Process You Will Come Face-to-face With The Sudden And Shocking Realization That You Are Completely Crazy. Your Mind Is A Shrieking Gibbering Madhouse On Wheels Barreling Pell-mell Down The Hill Utterly Out Of Control And Hopeless. No Problem. You Are Not Crazier Than You Were Yesterday. It Has Always Been This Way And You Just Never Noticed. You Are Also No Crazier Than Everybody Else Around You. The Only Real Difference Is That You Have Confronted The Situation They Have Not.

The Principal Cause Of Suffering Is Craving. Once Craving Is Eliminated, Much Suffering Will Be Eliminated. Still More Suffering Will Be Eliminated Once Ignorance Is Eliminated. Both Craving And Ignorance Are Equally Powerful Defilements That Cause Suffering.
