There are two paths to practice. One is to place oneself under the guidance of a virtuous and wise teacher, enduring the severity of the restrictions and bearing the accompanying pain and difficulty.
The other is to practice in solitude in a quiet place. I realize that there are many people here in this mountain temple, and that there are many obstacles to practice. It would seem as though practice by oneself should be easier. However, there is always danger that one will become lazier due to the relaxation in one’s schedule.

And then eternity created time.

Eternity that is nothing, time that is something.

The zenith poses no problems. The law creates such? My words, just guessing.

Not sure if i understand correctly, but isn't nirvana (zenith) a completed objective? Of course, there's no limit to going even further. So, thinking it loudly, till there's rules, then there's reality, and with reality, - life, with all its rules etc. :)

I have discover happiness

Post by master of puppets »

what is happiness?
I think ı have discover in theory.
Once you forget thinking and live the life as is automatically (that it is all that is ordered):
this requires not to worry of anything;
and you will see that this is the tranquility or serenity;
in other words peace of mind;
in other words happiness!
which you are looking for
