You Can Only Have Bliss If You

The Purpose Of Meditation Is Personal Transformation.

Let Come What Comes, And Accommodate Yourself To That, Whatever It Is. If Good Mental Images Arise, That Is Fine. If Bad Mental Images Arise, That Is Fine, Too. Look On All Of It As Equal, And Make Yourself Comfortable With Whatever Happens.

Meditation Changes Your Character.

No Problem. You Are Not Crazier Than You Were Yesterday. It Has Always Been This Way, And You Just Never Noticed.

Buddhism Advises You Not To Implant Feelings That You Don’t Really Have Or Avoid Feelings That You Do Have. If You Are Miserable You Are Miserable; That Is The Reality, That Is What Is Happening, So Confront That. Look It Square In The Eye Without Flinching. When You Are Having A Bad Time, Examine That Experience, Observe It Mindfully, Study The Phenomenon And Learn Its Mechanics. The Way Out Of A Trap Is To Study The Trap Itself, Learn How It Is Built. You Do This By Taking The Thing Apart Piece By Piece. The Trap Can’t Trap You If It Has Been Taken To Pieces. The Result Is Freedom.
