i went to my first guided meditation class tonite. the four noble truths of buddhism will become my mantra. i will try to embrace them:
1. Life sucks. You can be sure of it. Things might get good, but they will most definitely suck again. Likely, when you least expect the sucking to ensue. If you can embrace this, you can learn to love the sucky part of life just as much as the non-sucky.
2. Life sucks because we cling to impermanent things. Translation: we make things overcomplicated (where have i heard this before? oh wait, i tell him that daily....)
3. We can overcome the sucky things in life through relieving ourselves of our clinginess to silly things.
4. The eightfold path leads the way to nirvana. more to come on the 8-fold. i mean, it was just one class after all....
