Meditation Changes Your Character.

Pain Is Inevitable, Suffering Is Not.

Mindfulness Helps Us Freeze The Frame So That We Can Become Aware Of Our Sensations And Experiences As They Are, Without The Distorting Coloration Of Socially Conditioned Responses Or Habitual Reactions.

Let Come What Comes, And Accommodate Yourself To That, Whatever It Is. If Good Mental Images Arise, That Is Fine. If Bad Mental Images Arise, That Is Fine, Too. Look On All Of It As Equal, And Make Yourself Comfortable With Whatever Happens.

But Look Within And Watch The Stuff Coming Up-restlessness, Anxiety, Impatience, Pain-just Watch It Come Up And Don't Get Involved. Much To Your Surprise, It Will Simply Go Away. It Rises, It Passes Away. As Simple As That. There Is Another Word For Self-discipline. It Is Patience.

We Have To Learn To Be Kind To Ourselves. In The Long Run Avoiding Unpleasantness Is A Very Unkind Thing To Do To Yourself.
