There's this saying about how we should only hold on to something as long as it's useful.....as long as it serves a purpose...

Lately I've learned that....there's nothing that's really worth clinging on to...nothing...as long as there's desire...there's suffering....

It's truly amazing where the truth leads....when you see the reality....the complete non-sugar coated truth.....

Every moment is truly precious...not one is wasted...

There's a time and place for everything.....but listening to your heart....the one thing that truly doesn't lie....we call it logic...we call it common sense...but so deluded we are by the 5 senses...and the monkey mind...that our view is clouded....

Of course...cognition...it one thing.....understanding...is another...the beginning of understanding is truly excellent...

Just in case you're wondering what is it I'm talking about....

The Buddha, the Dhamma and the happiest people I know...the monks

Do not go upon what has been acquired by repeated hearing, nor upon tradition, nor upon rumor, nor upon scripture, nor upon surmise, nor upon axiom, nor upon specious reasoning, nor upon bias towards a notion pondered over, nor upon another's seeming ability, nor upon the consideration - Buddha's Charter of Free Inquiry

Well that's still most of our life...it's too easy to follow....and very hard to lead

Only hope to correct one view...mine.....for now....
