Want what is happening now!

Buddha, in his ultimate wisdom said this; "want what you have."

This is an interesting paradox, is it not?

A spiritual teacher, asking us to "want what we have!"

Can we actually want what we already have?

Do you want what you already have?

Please take this words to heart, and find their meaning.

Thank you, Paul.

Sometimes it seems very hard to want what we actually have got.

Who wants depression. Or heartache. Or a bum back?

How can we turn aversion into acceptance? Much less, want?

Hi Barry,

You know once in interview with Daesonsa-nim he said to me; "You think you have a choice, but you don't." I said; "I don't understand." He replied, "Until you realize that you have no choice, only then will you get a choice."

This moment is "just this" and even though you may not like the way it is; it is, still the way it is.

just food for thought.

Great post.

Yes, wanting something is only a great delusion from deluded mind. In reality there are no needs, there just are what there are.

With palms together,
Uku
