| Obviously if you go to a party to relax, you are going to be disappointed. Have you noticed the similarity with the magic business model? 1. Sit down and watch your thoughts
2. Magic!
3. "harvest your crops of faith, morality , mindfulness and wisdom"!!!! When you are happy, you are not really happy.

When the car is moving, it's not really moving. If you observe really closely, you will see that actually it's not moving at all! >the essence of life is suffering, said the Buddha.

Even before we ask whether to bother with meditation or not, let's ask what is the probability that Buddha even formulated the problem correctly? The first step to solving a problem is to state it correctly. |
