Reading these quotations makes it seem actually possible to change anger, for instance, to some other, more positive feeling. Your post offers a rich set of suggestions to try. Thank you for collecting these thoughts and sharing them!

I am a fairly hopeless Buddhist and am easily confused. I tend to take notice only of very basic stuff. Therefore I find this quotation from Ajahn Char quite helpful : "If you sit in meditation and want it to be this way or that, you had better stop right there".

Meditation is a wonderful 'place' to see just how much work it is, as well as where we can sometimes get glimpses of how wonderful things can be when that work is paying off.Buddhist_philosopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246929532585980356noreply@blogger.com
