Dissatisfaction and its end, this is the core of the truly awake teaching!

The cause of dissatisfaction is wanting unwisely. When we stop wanting unwisely dissatisfaction ends.

The method to stop wanting unwisely is The Noble eightfold path.
This includes the skills to Remember, look, and change.
Remember to look at what you are doing and make a wholesome change.
These 3 qualities run circles around each other and the rest of the path.

Practice remembering in or out breathing. To develop R.L.C (Remember, Look, Change) as well as the whole Noble Eightfold Method. Remembering the in and out breath as an anchor to wake up, look, and direct the mind away from the unwholesome and to the wholesome.
Getting into seclusion helps develop these skills, into a spot that is safe. Makes it easy to talk yourself into feeling safe, secure, and satisfied when it’s the reality. It’s very beneficial to develop these skills because the mind can run off into Dissatisfaction Town very quickly, so it’s of great benefit to keep the practice in mind and return home here and now often.

One wholesome thought after another leads to
A wholesome attitude.
Then the mind becomes unified, whole, and Free from dissatisfaction.
When the mind is whole we speak, act, and live kindly and skillfully.

I have seen this work again and again directly. I have full confidence in the method and the Four Noble Truths. They are just that Noble and True!

You can do this! Simply remember to look, make wholesome Change, and Congratulate yourself for doing so! Recognizing that this truly is enough, dissatisfaction ends!

Thank you, Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha.
