"This entails a radical attitudinal adjustment to respond to adverse situations in ways that give rise to happiness." - @BAlanWallace (3 of 3)

[Contemplative Consciousness Network @ContemplativeC4]

"The Buddhist hypothesis is radical. Most of us don't believe that the root of suffering is within us. We believe the root cause of our problems is external. We point "out there" and believe we can't be happy until all those irritating things change." (1 of 3)

"This is truly and logically a hopeless situation. Buddhism presents the radical hypothesis that our situation is not hopeless. It is possible not to be upset every time you encounter a malicious person... (2 of 3)

Like a good crop, good meditation cannot be forced, and requires cultivation over time."

"Cultivating the mind is very much like cultivating a crop. A farmer must know the proper way to prepare the soil, sow the seed, tend to the growth of the crop, and finally harvest it. (1 of 4)

[Contemplative Consciousness Network @ContemplativeC4]

Similarly, in terms of meditation it is crucial to be thoroughly versed in the proper method of our chosen technique. While engaged in the practice, we must frequently check up to see whether we are implementing the instructions we have heard and conceptually understood.

Ignorance that lies at the root of suffering goes beyond not paying attention. Ignorance is also superimposing our conceptual constructs, then mistaking them for reality. We act on that basis, and that's when things really start to go awry.
