RE: The Accidental Designer, Part 2 – Meditative Daydream

in #philosophy6 years ago

One must sit for 10.5 hours a day, scanning the body in repeated, shifting patterns, becoming increasingly aware of even the most subtle of sensations – training the mind to simply observe rather than react – to be swayed neither by craving nor aversion; the two primary causes of suffering, according to Gautama Buddha.

I can't imagine myself doing that, but i might want to try it though, you are quite impressive when it comes to your patience and struggle, but i don't know how this benefits? mindfulness or it might be enlightenment.

Sort:  

It does require a fair amount of patience and determination. The benefit, absolutely, is the deep understanding that no outside person nor circumstance is ever responsible for your suffering. This doesn't mean that horrible things don't or won't happen, only – how you respond is entirely up to you.
