Cattāri Brahmavihārā

Lately I have been taken with the idea of recalling peace as another way in which to meet the inevitable temptations to veer off into unskillful thinking. Just reminding myself of the possibility of cessation, of stilling may not always work to quell the impulse to gorge myself on mental junk food but at least I remember that there is always a choice. In other words, it seems to broaden my perspective to recall that the whole point of this path is to come to the end of suffering and pain so I should use my mind to fabricate these perceptions of peace and these shadows of Nibbana rather than strengthening they same old fantasies.

Sukhita hontu!
