Summary
We want peace outwardly yet peace begins somewhere else.
Without peace, nothing can flourish, blossom.
Living our daily life of relationship, is it possible to completely end sorrow?
To be simple demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity.
Why do we suffer?
To understand peace one has to understand pleasure.
Desire is not a thing to be abhorred, controlled, suppressed. See how desire comes into being and what gives it continuity.
The total understanding of the machinery of thought, pleasure and idea brings peace.
You cannot be austere if you are not passionate.
Passion is translated into lust, passion for work, to express, to become something. But passion is tremendously intense accumulated energy.
