WHY HAVE A METHOD AND NOT USE IT?

Why Have A Method And Not Use It?
The method is the healing.

The Buddha saw that life was pain and suffering. For ordinary person, this doesn’t make sense as we see life as enjoyment, and so constantly look more enjoyment. We only see suffering when it is extreme. Not realising that nothing lasts and that everything is impermanent, we chase our tails. This is why the Buddha taught about the causes of effects.

To most, Buddhism sounds negative: “Buddhism is always telling us how mistaken we are, and how much we are suffering. I’m a good person.” ‘Good’ is relative. If we think we’re ‘good’, we can also think we are ‘bad’ (this had nothing to do with the Buddha being a bad boy: that is being dissatisfied with the way we assume life to be).

Buddhism is a path for those who recognise their suffering, and the suffering of others. There is no ‘God’ to put things right. There is no Buddha to put things right. We just have to use the method.

So, what’s the method?
Enjoy awareness in each moment.
That means letting go of the previous moment.

Resting in the moment is healing, as we lose the luggage
of the previous moment.

In the present moment – spontaneous awareness –
there is nothing to refer to.
No desire.
No aversion.

We are the healers.
