About Bliss

 


The poster says:  Bliss lies in balance.  — Buddha Groove

************************

In my Qi Gong class the other day, several of us had a discussion about what bliss is… a concept, a state of being, a type of energy, or even something that is drug induced.  We did not arrive at a conclusion and agreed that each of us had a  different experience of bliss.  The writing below summarizes bliss in a wonderful way.

***********************************************

                             The Ultimate Bliss

 

Blissful is solitude 

for one who’s content, 

    who has heard the Dhamma, 

    who sees. 

Blissful is non-affliction 

with regard for the world, 

    restraint for living beings. 

Blissful is dispassion 

with regard for the world, 

    the overcoming of sensuality. 

But the subduing of the conceit 'I am'— 

   That is truly 

    the ultimate bliss. 

 

- Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche, "Do Nothing"

******************************

May you find bliss in your life.

Blessings,

Judy

Thanks for reading this blog post. Sharing is good if it is kind and either has questions or tells about an experience. (Rudeness and profanity are excluded.)
