good post.
I was in thailand a couple of years back sat in a bangkok bedsit going through a pretty tough time - and came across a pamphlet about buddhism....those couple of paragraphs have had a greater impact on my life than 20 plus years of christianity.....
life is suffering
suffering is caused by desire
to be free from desire is to be free from suffering.
beautiful. peace guys :)
Wow, I used to do that in math class all the time. I must be like a natural master buddhist. Clearing my mind is definately easy for me to do.
One's chi is something completely different, from my understanding.Quote:

It means the less need you have for desires, the more clarity your mind will attain. Craving (which includes clinging) and aversion are ultimately the causes of suffering.Quote:
