Most people think understanding Buddhism means meditating, burning incense, or learning sacred texts. This book reminded me that the real practice is much simpler and much harder.
1. Can I accept that everything changes?
2. Can I see how my pursuit of happiness often creates new forms of anxiety?
3. Can I observe the idea of "me" without holding onto it so tightly?
4. And can I find peace by letting go, instead of constantly chasing more?
This wasn't just a book about Buddhism.
It was a mirror. A simple one, but not an easy one.
