Meditation Practice Is Simply Moving From A

We're Constantly Waking Up To What We're About, What We're Really Doing In Our Lives. And The Fact Is, That's Painful. But There's No Possibility Of Freedom Without This Pain.

We 'rid Ourselves Of Conceptual Thought' When, By Persistent Observation, We Recognize The Unreality Of Our Self-centered Thoughts. Then We Can Remain Dispassionate And Fundamentally Unaffected By Them. That Does Not Mean To Be A Cold Person. Rather, It Means Not To Be Caught And Dragged Around By Circumstances.

Meditation Practice Is Simply Moving From A Life Of Hurting Myself And Others To A Life Of Not Hurting Myself And Others.

We Tend To Run Our Whole Life Trying To Avoid All That Hurts Or Displeases Us, Noticing The Objects, People, Or Situations That We Think Will Give Us Pain Or Pleasure, Avoiding One And Pursuing The Other.

We Learn In Our Guts, Not Just In Our Brain, That A Life Of Joy Is Not In Seeking Happiness, But In Experiencing And Simply Being The Circumstances Of Our Life As They Are; Not In Fulfilling Personal Wants, But In Fulfilling The Needs Of Life.
