Find out for yourself

In all kinds of situations we can find out what is true simply by studying ourselves in every nook and cranny, in every black hole and bright spot, whether it’s murky, creepy, grisly, splendid, spooky, frightening, joyful, inspiring, peaceful or wrathful. We can just look at the whole thing. There’s a lot of encouragement to do this, and meditation gives us the method. When I first encountered Buddhism I was extremely relieved that there were not only teachings, but also techniques I could use to explore and test these teachings. I was told, from day one, that I had to find out for myself what was true.

I also like to find out what is true for myself.
