We may ask ourselves how does this false, delusional world, that tricks the minds of so many people come into existence? It is because of the sensual desires and cravings that so many seek. The ones that promise great satisfaction but bring only more samsara. My friends, until we are able to decipher this fact, [...]
This world is an illusion as seen through the deluded eyes of the ego, painted upon a canvas which projects feelings and perceptions. The very thought that we should be happy is a delusion. What gives us such a thought? What right do we have to claim happiness should be ours to enjoy. This is [...]
