I started this blog when I was living in a shelter; it was a means of escapism as well as creativity in the form of writing and sharing. Ive come along way in the last 9 months and have received so much love and support from other bloggers. I love reading and seeing everyones different genres and styles of work that they choose to blog and am happy to be moving along in this journey with you all.

Peace for now!

Thank you!

Peace and Clarity – Buddhism and The Dharma Via GreatMiddleWay

 

These two mental states are conducive to correct knowledge. Which two?

Peace and clarity.By developing peace, what purpose is served? Mind is purified.

By purifying mind, what purpose is served? Craving is abandoned.

By developing clarity, what purpose is served? Wisdom is developed.

By developing wisdom, what purpose is served? Ignorance is abandoned.

Defiled by craving, the mind is not released [from emotional agitation], and defiled by ignorance, wisdom is not developed.

Thus, abandoning craving through peace, there is liberation of the mental fluctuations, and abandoning ignorance through clarity, there is liberation by wisdom.—Buddha

Shakyamuni, Vijjābhāgiya Sutta
