During the discussion period at last Sunday's service at the Grand Rapids Buddhist Temple and Zen Center, a very wise woman shared a great point. Our desire, our want is satisfied when we receive the thing desired. We are at peace with the world. We are joy and fulfillment. We are complete. But that satisfaction and completeness only lasts one, two, or three seconds. Then it's gone and we need a new fix, a new thing.
To free ourselves from the need for that fix is the Practice.
