In line with Questions and Answers, I'm devoting the next few entries to some questions.
As Ajahn Chah said it so eloquently in 'Bodhinyana' (pg 115),
"If I answer your every little question, you will never understand the process of doubt in your own mind.
It is essential that you learn to examine yourself, (for) only through self-examination can you understand." - Ajahn Chah
And I would like to add that, "He who constantly watches over his own mind is freed from the cycle of samsara."
I've asked and answered the following questions.
How about you try answering them, too?
Happy investigating and answering!
Have fun!
