Christina's Daily Inspiration- Contemplative Meditations

To transcend suffering, one must practice with sincerity. Only with practice will one be able to ascend to the top of the mountain- which is Wisdom. The Dhammapada ~ The BuddhaWhen you experience things like heat and cold, pleasure and pain, you only feel them because your senses are in contact with them. These things come and go. These things have the nature of impermanence, so watch them come and go with patience and an even mind.  The Bhagavad Gita ~KrishnaThat which is essential within a person cannot suffer. That exists forever. I suffer because of my ego and my selfishness. If I became unselfish, how could I suffer?   The Tao Te Ching~ LAO TZUIf you understood the nature of suffering, you would not have to suffer. You must first understand what causes suffering, and then you will have the ability to transcend it.   The Hymn of Jesus ~from the Acts of John~  Jesus
