OCT 28

The lustful mind is blind to the simple presence of things as they are. With the senses continually reaching toward pleasurable encounters, the mind is left unguarded and seduction is a constant threat. To steady the mind, you don't need to change what you see, smell, or feel; you don't need to eliminate pleasant encounters. You need, instead, to control how you relate to sensory experience.
The B
uddha taught:
A man's sensuality lies in thoughts of passion.
Sensuality does not lie in the world's pretty things;
A man's sensuality lies in thoughts of passion.
While the world's pretty things remain as they are,
The wise remove the desire for them.
As the Buddha describes," He takes his food experiencing the taste, thought not experiencing greed for the taste."
With the development of wisdom, you will understand that senual desire is not pleasure; it is suffering; it is a force that inhibits the deep peace and rest you seek.

Removing all your cabbage from the inside of you, you will find that your true self having the bliss and peace. You true self is like a still, crystal clear pool reflects the reality of living and its changes. With that wisdom you can accept and adapt life as it is. True happiness and compassion will last and they are beneficial to all living beings.
