The Buddha Said, “Do It Yourself”
Without personal investigation of our own mind, seeking teachings is like repeatedly going to a doctor thinking they’ll make it all better, but then not doing whatever is advised – to look, see and drop attachments.
We’ve become hypochondriacs, developing a neurotic state that turns consciousness into a self, never attaining a level of compassion, but only chanting about it.
No teacher can end our pain, not even the Buddha.
We have to do it.
We have to recognise our pain, see the cause of that pain, seek a remedy, and apply it.
