More From Byron Katie

Do you want a sign that you're asleep? here it is: you're suffering. suffering is a sign that you're out of touch with the truth. suffering is given to you that you might open your eyes to the truth, that you might understand that there's falsehood somewhere, just as physical pain is given to you so you will understand that there is disease or illness somewhere. suffering occurs when you clash with reality. when your illusions clash with reality, when your falsehoods clash with truth, then you have suffering. otherwise there is no suffering.
Inspirational Pain Eye
Since the fabric of the universe is most perfect and the work of a most wise creator, nothing at all takes place in the universe in which some rule of maximum or minimum does not appear ... there is absolutely no doubt that every affect in the universe can be explained satisfactorily from final causes, by the aid of the method of maxima and minima, as it can be from the effective causes themselves ... of course, when the effective causes are too obscure, but the final causes are readily ascertained, the problem is commonly solved by the indirect method.
Wise Perfect Doubt
Within the framework of the buddhist path, reflecting on suffering has tremendous importance because -realizing the nature of suffering, you will develop greater resolve to put an end to the causes of suffering and the unwholesome deeds which lead to suffering. and it will increase your enthusiasm for engaging in the wholesome actions and deeds which lead to happiness and joy.
Buddhist Joy Suffering
Do not avoid contact with suffering or close your eyes before suffering. do not lose awareness of the existence of suffering in the life of the world. find ways to be with those who are suffering by all means, including personal contact and visits, images, sounds. by such means, awaken yourself and others to the reality of suffering in the world.
Mean Eye Reality
The discipline of suffering, of great suffering- do you not know that only this discipline has created all enhancements of man so far? that tension of the soul in unhappiness which cultivates its strength, its shudders face to face with great ruin, its inventiveness and courage in enduring, preserving, interpreting, and exploiting suffering, and whatever has been granted to it of profundity, secret, mask, spirit, cunning, greatness- was it not granted to it through suffering, through the discipline of great suffering?

She said, "it's not life or death, the labyrinth." "um, okay. so what is it?" "suffering," she said. "doing wrong and having wrong things happen to you. that's the problem. bolivar was talking about the pain, not about the living or dying. how do you get out of the labyrinth of suffering?... nothing's wrong. but there's always suffering, pudge. homework or malaria or having a boyfriend who lives far away when there's a good-looking boy lying next to you. suffering is universal. it's the one thing buddhists, christians, and muslims are all worried about."

It saddens me that christians need to be reminded that awe is owed also to those who disagree with them, who believe otherwise than they do.
Christian Believe Needs
After listening to modern tirades against the great creeds of the church, one receives a shock when one turns to the westminster confession... and discovers that in doing so one has turned from shallow modern phrases to a "dead orthodoxy" that is pulsating with life in every word. in such orthodoxy there is life enough to set the whole world aglow with christian love.

If you don’t learn how to cry, you cannot be a good christian. when they posed this question to us – why children suffer, why this or that tragedy occurs in life – our response must be either silence or a word that is born of our tears. be courageous, don’t be afraid to cry.
