Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 Suffering, attachments and misidentification Buddha said that everybody suffers. Do you suffer? If there is a moment that you are not filled With the deepest inner peace and bliss, Then you do suffer. Buddha taught that suffering has a cause; The cause of suffering is attachment. Ramana Maharshi taught that attachments are from Misidentifications. A misidentification is when you place your identity On something that it is not. Notice now that everything changes, Yet your sense of being is constant. A misidentification is when you identify with the changing, Instead of the constant. Read, reflect, and deeply meditate on this. Copyright 2003 Richard Clarke We are not two, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
