passer-by

There is no path.

 

Refrain the senses.

 

Refrain the mind.

 

Truth remains.

the simplest of answers are almost always spot-on

There is none. It is perception of what one has in mind which makes it to be anyhting one wishes.

 

As with life. We make it to be something according to mind, and thus experience such and determine it is a point.

 

A good question asked to me by my wife. She asked me ,"What is the reason for living? "

Simply put, "Nothing. People assume there is some mysterious nature, or some great goal to accomplish, but there isn't. The mere thought of there being one is the cause for much suffering (another experience of mind)"

 

There is mystery, because what is seen as mysterious is not readily seen by everyone.

 

Peace,

I happen to agree here. I think that if we are to ask any question like this, we must first look at the role the Mind has in the problem. The mind is not our friend

I'm 17. My name is Robert, but passer-by is fine too. I've been familiar with the Way for a few years, and haven't been really in touch with it until recently, when I have been at home a lot. As of now, I am prepping for changes in my life, because I am newly graduated from high school. I see this era of non-activity as a very good thing, and I am trying to get right with Tao in this appropriate time. If you've read this far, I thank you, and hope to have a nice conversation with you on this... interesting forum.
