That is possible only when one turns out to be a complete recluse leaving the socity and family to meditate in loneliness. Is there any other way?

]]> Comment on Why I Stopped Practising Buddhism by Bryn Jones http://politicsofsoul.org/2010/11/28/why-i-stopped-practising-buddhism/#comment-44 Sun, 01 May 2011 12:18:04 +0000 http://politicsofsoul.org/?p=929#comment-44 I was always taken by a line attributed to Buddha which goes something like this; ‘There is no path to happiness, happiness is the path’. It seems pretty clear from my own and others accounts of their personal spiritual travails that suffering, doubt and indecision also form a large chunk of such quests. So much so that we may come to regard these less wanted experiences as being the ones more likely to get us closer to the ways described by spiritual teachers. If we are able to meet these seemingly inevitable encounters with a spirit of strength and acceptance, perhaps they will shape and guide us to the mysterious wonders of whatever our ultimate destinations may be. More recently I tend to think of this as a kind of reconciliation with ones battered sense of being; a settling, an infusing, a dying of the fabric of ones soul.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Hind

Nice picture of the Sheikh!
A nice site layout too.
I’m sure you’re right! I have a problem with discussing deep subtleties on the web so will wait until we meet, insha’allah, to continue.
Peace
