About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a teacher and researcher. Communication and social-networking. I do Yoga and meditation.

PHILOSOPHY
...........

"This is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: it is this craving which leads to renewed existence, accompanied by delight and lust, seeking delight here and there, that is, craving for sensual pleasures, craving for existence, craving for extermination."

"This is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the remainderless fading away and cessation of that same craving, the giving up and relinquishing of it, freedom from it, nonreliance on it."

"This is the noble truth of the way leading to the cessation of suffering: it is the Noble Eightfold Path; that is, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration."

Siddhartha Gautama

...........

"Y esta es la verdad del origen del sufrimiento: el aferramiento que provoca el consiguiente devenir y que es acompañado por la pasión y el deleite, probándolo ahora aquí y ahora allí. El apego al placer de los sentidos, el apego a que algo aparezca, el apego a que algo no aparezca.Y esta es la verdad del cese del sufrimiento: la restante disminución y cese del apego, la renuncia, el abandono, la liberación, el dejar ir ese mismo apego."

Siddhartha Gautama
