How to check our Mind | How to find Happiness

When you were a child, you loved and craved for chocolate and cake. And you thought, when I'm old like my parents, I will buy all the chocolate and cake I want and then I'll be happy. Now you have so much chocolate and cake but you're bored. So you decide that since cake, doesn't make you happy anymore, you will get a car, a house, a television, a husband or wife, then you'll be happy. So now you have everything but there are more problems. The car is a problem, the house is a problem, the husband or wife is a problem, the children are a problem. And now You realize, oh, this is not a satisfaction.  But Buddha is saying that you only have to know what you are and how you exist that’s all.

Weaknesses is also a Strength

 Once upon a time there was a young woman who lived on top of the hill. Every day she had to walk down the hill to collect water from a river. She had two pots to carry water which she hung upon a pole so she could carry it over her shoulders and it went on. Later on one-day one of her pots got a small crack along inside.  She observed the crack on the pot and decided she could still use it. So every day the woman carried those two parts down the hill to the river she filled them  and walked back up the hill balancing the pole across her shoulders. And by the time she reached the house the crackpot would be only half full while the other pot would be full to the top and the crackpot would glance at the other pot which the water was still filled to the top and the crackpot began to feel worthless.  The fully filled pot was proud of its accomplishment while the crackpot felt ashamed that he wasn't able to accomplish the same amount of water as the other part did. So the years went by

Break your Limits

 This is the story about the elephant and the Rope. Once upon a time there was a tourist who was traveling through Thailand. He was passing by some elephants and he suddenly stopped because he was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. There were no chains or no cages and it was obvious that the elephants could at any time break away from their bonds, but for some reason they did not.  The tourist saw a trainer nearby and asked him why these animals stood there and made no attempts to get away. Well, the trainer said when they were very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and at that age it's enough to hold them. As they grow up they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the Rope can still hold them. So they never try to break free. The tourist was amazed. These animals could have any time break free from their bonds, but because they believe that they couldn'

In ancient times there was a king ordered his men to put a rock on the roadway his men placed a huge rock on a roadway. He then hid in the bushes and watched to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way. Some of the King’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers passed by and simply walked around it. Many blame the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone removed.   And so it happened that one day a peasant came along carrying vegetables upon approaching the rock the Peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the rock out of the way. After much pushing and straining he finally managed.   After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables he noticed the purse lying in the road where the rock had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the rock from the road.   When we see in life every obstacle that we come across gives us an opportunity.

So he was frightened and then he went to his teacher to report his dilemma. He said he plans to place a knife in his lap during meditation. So when the spider appeared he would kill it. The teacher advised him against this plan instead he suggested bring a piece of chalk to meditation and when the spider appears mark an x on its belly. Then report him back.   The student returned to his meditation when the spider again appeared he resisted the urge to attack it and instead he just did what the master suggested. When he later reported back to the master, the master told him to lift up his shirt and look at his own belly. There was the X mark.   When you see in your life whatever is troubling you, whatever is placing a burden on to you is actually inside of you. We can all have thoughts, voices and pain insi
