Desire to suffer

The desire to have happiness for all results in inevitable suffering when sadness is seen.

The desire to be well makes being unwell difficult.

The desire for enlightenment and release breeds constant anguish as the state of ignorance persists.

Free from desire, the perfect way, all happens yet is not suffered.

The world leading to happiness?

The world does not owe you anything, can not give you anything.

The idea that the world should give you happiness, when the world does not have happiness as one of its constituent parts, is apparently false. The world is made of mind and mind can only recognise happy and sad, not produce them.

Happiness must emerge from the only true reality, that before mind.

Path of suffering

Seeking happiness, is sadness.

Seeking pleasure, is suffering.

Can we now see what the Buddha said?

Living (for most people) is suffering.

Is happiness your goal?

Are you trying to make yourself completely happy?

This is the action of the ego!

Strive only to hold onto the one.

Ego gone, no longer identified with – is the true state.

Action towards happiness

Don't do that thing to make you happy. As what will happen after?

Do it when you are happy. Then you'll know if it really needs doing.

 

Solid Foundations

That something (call it a universe or any other name) has come about and produced forms, some of which feel separate and the various emotions, you can only feel a deep compassion. Most of all to yourself, as you too are as illusory conceived as the rest.

Any negative must be put aside as to attempt to form a better way whilst being a suffering part can neither benefit you or the whole.

Never make a choice whilst sad. All decisions must arise from happiness and so the future will be based on this.

~~
Sad: Separate. Happy: True being whole.

Seeking

Why seek happiness?
When the quest only defines sadness!
Breathe deep and sit,
For this is it!
