    What desires are the most important to be void of? Material things.. the main ones?

    "Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become enlightened. When you sit, let it be. What you walk, let it be. Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing."

    Current events is the wrong forum.
    Unless you're discussing something that is a current news article, then it needs to go elsewhere.

    Would you please pay more attention to where you post, @girllikesam?

    Thanks.

    Don't see a Buddha.
    Be a Buddha.
    How?
    It's like how you get to Carnegie Hall ... practice, practice, practice.
