Some of us practise because we want something in exchange;we seek rebirth in another state of being; we want to attain something.

But that is not how the Buddha taught.

We practise on and on, but we fail to attain our desire.So we practise until we reach a point where we're practising for no return,

we're practising in order to let go.

The Buddha taught Dhamma and Discipline,complete and comprehensive. Nothing needs to be changed.

There is nothing to add and nothing to take away. This is where we can stop.

The teacher doesn't free you from greed and anger.He tells you about them; then you practise and reach realization.

You understand these things for yourself.

Moral restraint is the cause, comfort and happiness are the result.
