The Simplest Meditation — by Melvin McLeod

Post by Welles »

How can everything be perfect if it’s so screwed up?

That question goes to the heart of the situation we find ourselves in, which Buddhists call samsara. That’s the endless cycle driven by our struggle to try to fix what’s broken—in ourselves, in our lives, in our world.

But what if nothing really is broken? What if our problem is that there is no problem, but we don’t know it? What if all our efforts to solve our problems are what’s creating the problems in the first place?

Who knows when and how this trap was sprung, but we’re in it. How do we get out?

We just stop. We do nothing at all, and see what we see.

That’s what the Buddha did.

I've been a little tied up elsewhere and am looking for bits and pieces that might go well with good old 11:11.
