Guiding Principle-Part Two It would be difficult to achieve this all at once, especially in the beginning. As one enters the Buddhist practice, one feels a bit confused and uncertain. This is natural and normal. In his great wisdom, the Buddha understood this, and gave us some teachings and guidelines on how to dissolve the dissatisfactions of life and attain peace and serenity within oneself and with others. As we understand, accept, and live by the guidelines, we gradually begin to feel more comfortable and more at ease with ourselves, with others, and ultimately, with all creatures. Life becomes less fraught with unease, and more filled with inner stability and satisfaction with things as they are. At this point, the guidelines become less about rules and restrictions and more about being our guardians and mentors, and we see them as blessings. -DDMBA.ORG
