    For anyone interested in Buddhist meditation

    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
    How great God must be - even non-existence has not prevented him from shaping mankind\'s history so profoundly.
    :thumbsup:

    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.

    yea i have trouble maintaining that state of clear mind. I'm still quite a newbie, and can only keep that state for around 10 seconds max before my conscience comes in and breaks it all. Any suggestions other than practice that might be helpful?

    does that mean a person couldn't obtain peace of mind unless they had no desires?

    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.
