Reincarnation doesn't help you if in your next incarnation you still don't know who you are.
Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to "die before you die" --- and find that there is no death.
Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
What you fight, you strengthen. And what you resist, persists.
Stillness is the only thing in this world that has no form. But then, it is not really athing, and it is not of this world.
Is suffering really necessary? Yes and no.If you had not suffered as you have, there would be no depth to you as a human being, no humility, no compassion. You would not be reading this now. Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point where it has served his purpose.Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.
The three modalities of awakened doing are acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm.
Nonresistance, nonjudgement and nonattachment are the three aspects of true freedom and enlightened living.
Instead of quoting the Buddha, BE the Buddha!
