You Can Only Have Bliss If You

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

Mindfulness Gives You Time. Time Gives You Choices. Choices, Skillfully Made, Lead To Freedom. You Don't Have To Be Swept Away By Your Feeling. You Can Respond With Wisdom And Kindness Rather Than Habit And Reactivity.

Meditation Changes Your Character.

Deeply Buried In The Mind, There Lies A Mechanism That Accepts What The Mind Experiences As Beautiful And Pleasant And Rejects Those Experiences That Are Perceived As Ugly And Painful. This Mechanism Gives Rise To Those States Of Mind That We Are Training Ourselves To Avoid-- Things Like Greed, Lust, Hatred, Aversion, And Jealousy.

View All Problems As Challenges. Look Upon Negativities That Arise As Opportunities To Learn And To Grow. Don't Run From Them, Condemn Yourself, Or Bury Your Burden In Saintly Silence. You Have A Problem? Great. More Grist For The Mill. Rejoice, Dive In, And Investigate.
