Doubts are poison
Stop doubting
Doubts always sound reasonable. The caring voice of reason: cool down, think logically, the odds are slim. You sit and listen, because it’s right.
Doubt wears the mask of intelligence and works as a defense. It’s easiest to dismiss the unfamiliar as nonsense.
No amount of proof opens a closed mind. Only an attempt does.
The menu isn’t the meal. It’s like learning to swim: you have to get in the water yourself.
A year ago I still doubted any of this works. The authority of the Buddha and the scriptures kept me going. So I simply decided to check. It’s been a rocket of a year.
Doubts are poison. The antidote is to check for yourself.
