The Process Of Becoming Who You Will

We Usually Do Not Look Into What Is Really There In Front Of Us. We See Life Through A Screen Of Thoughts And Concepts, And We Mistake Those Mental Objects For Reality. We Get So Caught Up In This Endless Thought-stream That Reality Flows By Unnoticed. We Spend Our Time Engrossed In Activity, Caught Up In An Eternal Flight From Pain And Unpleasantness. We Spend Our Energies Trying To Make Ourselves Feel Better, Trying To Bury Our Fears. We Are Endlessly Seeking Security. Meanwhile, The World Of Real Experience Flows By Untouched And Untasted.

Each Step Along The Buddha's Path To Happiness Requires Practising Mindfulness Until It Becomes Part Of Your Daily Life.

Prayer And Contemplation Are Both Exercises In Concentration. The Normal Deluge Of Conscious Thought Is Restricted And The Mind Is Brought To One Conscious Area Of Operation. The Results Are Those You Find In Any Concentrative Practice: Deep Calm, A Physiological Slowing Of The Metabolism And A Sense Of Peace And Wellbeing

You Can Only Have Bliss If You Don't Chase It.

Ignorance May Be Bliss, But It Does Not Lead To Liberation.
