What Your Practice Grows Stronger – Tara Brach

Working With Thought & Emotion – Joesph Goldstein
“The truth of suffering is to be realized. The truth of the cause of the suffering is to be understood. The true of the end of the suffering is to be experienced. And the way to the end is to be walked by each one. The Buddha´s enlightenment solved his problem, it did not solve ours, except to point out the way. There is no magic formula which will release us from suffering. Each of us has to purify our own mind, for it is the attachment in our minds that keeps us bound. “ – The Experience of Insight – Joseph Goldstein
