Practice Is a Path of Joy and Happiness

In his discussions of these early teachings, ante, tictanhan feels that this framework is the only buddhist framework that includes a place for self consciousness. He even goes so far as to say, if your practice is not bringing you joy, you must be doing it wrong. So these teachings, i think, are very, very useful for us in these times. They're not as old as the polly teachings, the four noble truths, eightfold path, but here tedanhan applies those teachings.
