Meditating is soooooo boring

"You should all bear in mind that this practice is difficult. To train other things is not so difficult, it's easy, but the human mind is hard to train. The Lord Buddha trained his mind. The mind is the important thing. Everything within this body-mind system comes together at the mind. The eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body all receive sensations and send them into the mind, which is the supervisor of all the other sense organs. Therefore it is important to train the mind. If the mind is well trained all problems come to an end. If there are still problems it's because the mind still doubts, it doesn't know in accordance with the truth. That is why there are problems.

Prent Moment Wisdom

why is mindfulness so important? In the present moment I observe what is really going on, what is happening NOW, I start to notice patterns in my ways of thinking and reacting to life's situations, and I begin to understand my conditioning, and I begin to observe the moments more an more and to investigate the root of my thoughts, and to let go of dreaming and doubt and let the bright light of the present shine through and clarify everything, and by calming the conditions the seed of Wisdom can flourish, and the Wisdom tree show me my connection to everything and helps me branch out to the Others sharing in this Life Experience, and the vines are intertwined so I cannot simply do something without it not affecting somebody else, so I have a duty to leave the best effect I can and selfishness just will not suffice, but selflessness takes diligent practice and observation and questioning the conditioning of decades of wanting and unwanting and sensory intercourse with my environment...after all Uncle Socrates said "the unexamined life is not worth living" . . . MY LIFE IS WORTH LIVING, so I stay present, and wherever my thoughts travel, I bring them back to present so that i can see clearly, and examine in a correct way this thing I call Myself and create that worth that will add the most Beauty to the path I walk along.
