Menka has chosen to stop playing this game of Q&A, for now….

Keep an eye on the posts here, as she may just surprise us all, and return to reveal the path towards self-realisation.

In your eyes, Menka, what would it take to get self realisation?

What would it take, Menka, to have you not cling to something that is bound to hide away a few moments later?

Imagine how peaceful and happy life would be without the constant grasping for something better!

In Buddhism, the Four Noble Truths are:

1) suffering exists
2) the cause of suffering is craving, hatred and ignorance
3) there is a cure for suffering, and
4) there is a path to end suffering.

And the path to end suffering, it is said, is *non grasping*. Interesting how buddhism gets right to the essence of this point!

Yet, I still think its special when the warm sunshine floods my room in the morning. What I aspire to achieve is not to get attached to it, not to cling onto something that is bound to hide away a few moments later…
