Don't drink and post, kids! lol<br /><br />Overall I still agree with what I said... a meditation practice is hard, and the discipline is an important part of it. <br /><br />But I'm just a guy on the Internetz, and your path is different from mine. <br /><br />I wouldn't go so far as to say you're not too Buddhist lately. It sounds like you're giving some thought to this stuff, and "intention" is important in Buddhism. I also like what you said about working on accepting things more... another big Buddhist issue. <br /><br />Sounds pretty Buddhist to me, bud.

"Shut the fuck ...The Big Lebowski is awesome. "Shut the fuck up Donny! You're WAAYYY out of your element!"<br /><br />On that I totally agree. On the idea of going with the flow, not so much. Call me an asshole, but I'm of the school of thought that sitting practice will always be something of a chore, and that's ok. It's hard work, but it has to be done, to see myself and reality clearly.<br /><br />But I think you're also right about everything having ups and downs. My practice has been lacking in the last couple weeks, and I can completely see the consequences of that in my scatter-shot thinking and uneccessarily-drama-filled relationships.<br /><br />The Dude abides.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
