It is about recognising suffering for what it is, recognising transience and then getting on and enjoying all aspects of your life in equanimity, girlfriend and all, without desirous attachment.



aaahhhhh (that was a sigh of relief from me)

upasaka - you speak wise words! :)

Hi, I´m enoightened and still the father of three grownup kids.
If your wife does tolerate your way of thinking it will be ok. The only disadvantage is that the walking of the path might be getting slower but you can keep on going.Also sex is not good but if you need it, the Elevated says, just don´t do it with married woman. Sex will also slow down the speed on the path.

love, pity and compassion
