Richard a prayer for you: Lord, please grant me the serenity to accept the
things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom
to know the difference.
PS Do you really want us to all post alike?! Why not enjoy the buffet that is
FFL?

Are there any serious writers on this forum - I mean other than
an editor, a few coders, and a baker? I'm beginning to think
nobody, except the Cardmiester, on this list has ever even read
Patajali's Yoga Sutras - even in English translation. This is
starting to look like a total waste of time anymore. Have any of
you guys ever thought about using Twitter for your one-liners? Go
figure.
"Dukkha (Pali; Sanskrit: dukkha; Tibetan sdug bsngal) is a
Buddhist term commonly translated as "suffering", "anxiety",
"stress", or "unsatisfactoriness". The principle of dukkha is one
of the most important concepts in the Buddhist tradition. The
Buddha is reputed to have said: "I have taught one thing and one
thing only, dukkha and the cessation of dukkha." The classic
formulation of these teachings on dukkha is the doctrine of the
Four Noble Truths, in which the Truth of Dukkha (Pali: dukkha
saccã; Sanskrit: du?kha-satya) is identified as the first of the
four truths."
