Freedom-buddist style

[boilergirl1]

I found this in my mail one day and thought i'd pass it along......


If you really want freedom, happiness will arise.
From happiness will come rapture. When your mind is enraptured, your body is tranquil. When your body is tranquil,you will know bliss. Because you are blissful,your mind will concentrate easily. Being concentrated, you will see things as they really are. In so seeing, you will become aware that life is a miracle. Being so aware,you will lose your attachments.
As you cease grasping, so you will be freed.
-Digha Nikaya-

From "The Buddha Speaks"

My response is NOT to make light of the belief, bg1. I promise I am coming at this from past personal experience! Please don't be offended when I say...I've had thoughts just like this when I was tripping on "windowpane" or smoking a 1/2 oz. with a gang of my friends...back in the day!

Geezzzzzzzz...Budda is deep!

TY for sharing and scaring up old memories!

Thoughts and reminders of striving for inner peace and how achieving it often ends up having most everything else fall into place is timeless.

And you mean to tell me that not everything is about me? :confused: Well...I'm one happy snowman then.
