The Power of Meditation
Meditation has the power to clear a busy mind.
The Path
Everything is changing.
It arises and passes away.
The one who realizes this is freed from sorrow.
This is the shining path.
To exist is to know suffering.
Realize this and be freed from suffering.
This is the radiant path.
There is no separate self to suffer.
The one who understands this is free.
This is the path of clarity.

Interesting...I think it dovetails nicely with this:
"In Buddhism there is a meditation which aims at achieving mental equanimity, the viewing of all sentient beings in the exact same light. In it, the meditator visualizes an enemy, a friend and an acquaintance about whom s/he has no feelings. The meditator thinks of why s/he has certain feelings about each, then remembering that each of the three has been in a different relationship with the meditator in previous lives, reverses the feelings about each, visualizing the friend as the enemy and the enemy as the friend."

Daniella, I'm having trouble getting to your link.
As most people here will attest to, I ain't too smart...help?
I got it. I copied and pasted but the "t" is missing.
Pretty site by the way.
Your site is nice...you've inspired me to turn off my computer and relax.
The only time I felt uncomfortable was when I interviewed people at extremely conservative churches...the people who truly believe the end is near and the day to day doesn't matter. Other than that, everyone was incredibly friendly, even the people I thought I would despise...
It's too bad the media plays the left vs. right game. Whenever I asked liberal bashers to define liberal, they were at a loss for words...other than saying, 'Liberals hate America.' They were all O'Reilly loveres. Once you start digging, you learn you have many things in common. It was a great experience.
Back to meditating. It helps on so many levels. I'll check your site again tomorrow. Thanks for leaving your link.
