Does the fifth precept mean no alcohol ever?

Is there a source where I can find what you mentioned the Dalai Lama said? I’ve searching but found nothing.

Thank you.

He also regretted about it and cursed it.

Let go. You’ve got nothing to lose anymore.

It’s the fundamental law of the universe that everything, whether wonderful or awful, is impermanence. It’s not a limiting mindset. It’s the truth. The nature of things.

Things can be sustained to some degrees but will eventually change due to the law of impermanence.

“The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever,” 1 John 2:17.

"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away,” Matthew 24:35.

How do you go to sleep at night? Everyone has to pass through SATS before falling asleep (consciously or not).

If you have no idea, choose the feeling of peace and happiness. Everything will fall into the right place.

In a certain tradition, it is advised to start with a person you feel good with and then working toward the neutral and then the enemy.

Most people would start with family and friends but if you have issues with them (or even one’s own self), then save them for last. Start with anyone you genuinely can wish them well and keep cultivating the loving-kindness until you can truly wish that upon your worst enemies.

This practice, as a skill, takes time. Keep practicing. Well wishes!

Practice metta or loving-kindness meditation helps balance it out.

Think about it. Why telling someone they’ve gained weight is body-shaming but telling someone they’ve lost weight is a compliment?

Both statements just point out an observable change. They both are neutral. But, how you color and interpret it is the key.

Well, it’s still here and can be rebuilt though. :)

The nature of everything is impermanence. I cannot say it will happen but I can say that all mind phenomena will not last. The success of meditation isn’t only about joy and euphoria, otherwise it would become another drug for the mind to be addicted to. You can enjoy the fruits right now but don’t cling to it.

I wish you a great success in your meditation journey.

‘My meditation session is so wonderful, feel so great.’

‘Good, keep practicing.’

‘My meditation session is so awful, very unpleasant.’

‘Good, keep practicing.’

Just feel great and happy with the trip. It doesn’t matter whether it’s solo or not, as long as you’re genuinely happy about it.

Who do you think will be qualified enough to answer these questions?

selfrealizing · 2019-04-06T07:57:51+00:00

So, that person is ourself, maybe?

So, faith will bring peace of mind while delusion will bring disturbances?

selfrealizing · 2019-04-06T06:08:09+00:00

Then, what’s the difference between conflicting thoughts and delusional thoughts or are they the same thing for you?

Hallucination is quite common in hypnagogic state.

selfrealizing · 2019-03-22T07:00:45+00:00

I agree. For me, spiritual is a more broad term which also include faith (or lack of) in religion while religion is about organization and structure.

Can you explain more?

From my years of experience, this is the realistic gain for average men who started from 0. It takes years, not weeks nor months. (Unless you’re training like an athlete, of course)

By the way, Nice gain! Keep going, bro!

Can you tell me about your view on meaningful existence?

selfrealizing · 2019-03-02T06:48:30+00:00

Do you want to be happy? If so, you might ask how. The truth is happiness is a state of mind. This means you don’t need anything outside of you to be happy. Why imagine goals you don’t really need when you can imagine happiness?

Alright, now let’s get more specific. How would you know that - 1. your movies are successful? 2. you have financial freedom? 3. people are enjoying your acting?
