Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Friends: Blown around in the Mental Space by Emotional Storms !!! The Blessed Buddha once said: Bhikkhus, even as many winds blow turbulent in the sky, from all the directions of east, west, south, & north, both dusty and dustless winds, both cold & hot winds, both mild & forceful winds, even so do also all themany various feelings arise in this body: Both pleasant feelings, painfulfeelings and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feelings perpetually emerge and perturb the mind... Just as many diverse winds,Storms here and there across the sky,So in this very body: The manifold kinds of feelings arise,Both pleasant ones and painful ones,And those neither painful nor pleasant.Yet when a determined bhikkhu does not neglect aware and clear comprehension;Then such intelligent one fully understandsFeelings and all their complex aspects...Having fully understood feelings, he is freed of all mental fermentation even in this very life...Remaining in this state, at the body's breakup,Such Expert-Master cannot ever be imagined...
