Buddha

Today is Wesak Day. Its a good day to meditate on the Buddha's teachings.

Buddha says that a wise man is not interested in 'the way' because he is not going anywhere, so there is no point in thinking about any 'way'. He is simply HERE in the NOW. When you are going somewhere you need a way. The present moment, the NOW is enough. There is no where to go, so what is the point of a way, a path, a means? There is no goal, no where to go. Just be here, now, as totally as possible. Dont let your mind go any where. And in that moment when you are not going any where, everything falls into silence. Experience it. You are then in tune with the dhamma, you are in tune with the universe. The man who understands this has nothing to do, he just HAS TO BE.

The Buddha also said that desire brings misery. Desire means you have moved away from reality, you have moved from that which is. Desire means you have fallen in the trap of a DREAM. Desire means you are not here now - you have gone somewhere in the future. Non-desire is enlightenment.

So to all dream chasers, we have fallen into the matrix world of dreams because we desire..and that means we are entangled in the law of karma.

Happy Wesak Day.
