Nirvana

February 23, 2021
Nirvana

In almost every way, we possess more now than when we were younger.

But are we happier? Not really.

That’s because as we accumulate more material wealth, we also accumulate more suffering.

The goal of meditation is to rid ourselves of the suffering we have accumulated over time as well as to prevent us from accumulating even more suffering.

Nirvana is not about gaining pleasure; It is about extinguishing suffering.  

-Ven. Pomnyun Sunim

Wisdom For You

I am anxious about how others might perceive me.

Dwelling too much on what others might think of me comes from the belief that I am special so I need to be perceived as such. 
We are no more special than a clump of grass on the side of the road.
How others perceive you is simply their thought, over which you have no control.
Let go of the belief that you are special, and you will be able to enjoy your life much more.
