Mayka,
I have no aspirations. I arise when I wake. I eat when I'm hungry. I pick up litter when I see it. I comfort others when I feel their pain. I sleep when I'm tired. That is enough for me. .Bill! From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mayka Sent: Friday, February 23, 2007 8:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Zen] Peace What are your all noble aspirations?. Mine is to achieve profound peace. This is how I see peace and how I work towards it: What is Peace? In its purest form, peace is inner silence. It is the substance of nirvana, the clarity of the mind. It's the energy that comes from a pure mind free from negative thoughts, negative mental formations, negative feelings, negative emotions... The first step in the process of peace consists of first acknowledging one's thoughts, mental formations, sensations, emotions, feelings; and then looking for the roots of all that through careful analisis and examination. Finally to uproot them all, one by one. This is what zazen is for. By opening the window of the inner peace, we are able to transform our impurities in purity. Peace means good health in the body and the mind. Has anyone ever seen somebody dying with no peace?. Although, I haven't, it is easy to imagine the kind the horrific death of someone without peace. No spirituality, no wellbeing, no harmony, no serenity, no balance, no transformation of suffering.... can exist without it.
