Seeking Dhamma.

What you seek is the same as everyone, and that is certainty in life.

The belief in the superficial equation that 'if I do this I will get that.'

Sometimes it works the way we would like and other times not at all, and then everything in between. In other words, certainty does not exist in the conventional world, and so we struggle with life.

We pin our hopes on all the things that ultimately fail us, not because there is something wrong with them, but only that we expect more than they can offer.

We spend so much time trying to fix things in life to feel secure, when actually we don't need to fix them at all, we need to understand them. The moment we understand the reality of life we are free from the unhappiness that arises from the attachment to our dream states, and the consequent expectations that things will be perfect for us.

Often it seems that money offers a security, and whilst this may appear to be true in the conventional world it is not true for the heart. So what to do?

Everyone who has awoken to life has met this moment, from the Buddha to every disciple. It is called, 'the opening of the wisdom eye.' We look at our life and think their must be a better way to live than this, and there is, we just have to find it.

So now, take some time to reflect and ask yourself what you want to do with the next part of your life and remember, you may not know what you want, but you always know what you don't want, you only have to be brave enough to listen to your heart.

Like it or not we are all connected and truth is the only thing that will serve you. Not with new age spiritual sound bites and half understood teachings, but with support from the true and loving Dhamma heart.

Transcending the needs of 'self' is the greatest gift we can bring to ourselves and all beings.

 

May all beings be happy.
