Craving Causes Misery!

Craving for Sense Pleasure always causes Suffering! The Blessed Buddha once said: Truly, due to craving for sense pleasure, conditioned by sensuous craving, compelled by craving for sense pleasure, entirely pushed by craving for sense pleasure, does kings fight with kings, princes fight with princes, priests with priests, citizens with citizens; mother quarrels with son, son with mother; father with son, son with father; brother with brother, brother with sister, sister with brother, a good friend fights even with his best friend. Thus, lost in conflict, quarrelling, and hostilities, they attack one another with fists, sticks, or weapons. And thereby they suffer death or deadly pain.

From The Under 35 Project: “Tricking Myself Onto the Cushion”

Image
A bizarre twist of events in Kathmandu led Jessica O'Neill into a meditation class – the place she was most scared to be. I arrived at the yoga studio at 9:10 that morning. The class wasn't due to start until 9:30, so I was a little bit surprised to see a small clutch of people waiting outside the studio door. "Pfft. Eager!" I thought, a brief moment of irritation flickering in my mind. This was my first yoga class in months, and I was eager to stretch and sweat. I had, admittedly, been a pretty epic slacker in regards to my spiritual practice lately. In November and December I spent six weeks at Kopan Monastery and during this time I was immersed in Dharma, convinced that I would never, ever EVER let myself fall off of the meditation wagon again. After all, I would be living in Kathmandu, a city so steeped in Meditation that I couldn't possibly abandon my practice… This, it would seem, was overly optimistic. The yoga class was described online as a ...
