The Buddha's Way of Self-Understanding

Buddhism is the way of self-understanding. To understand yourself requires freedom from all desire to change what you are into something else. You just can't do both at once. The change that we are looking for is not a change that we can manufacture and direct. That is why we have a method just by giving our attention towhat is right in front of us. Just by doing that, things change. We keep our pain and dissatisfaction alive with our constant worrying about it.
