I really contemplated on money and realized the emptiness in it, while the entire society and cilization do not question the pursuit of money.

I read that book and love the "Sacred path of a Warrior' book by Sakyong's Father.

Wisdom and emptiness

The following is an excerpt from "Turning the Mind Into An Ally," by Sakyong Miphan. The passage was read in my meditation group for contemplation and discussion. I offer it for others to read and contemplate while you meditate and deepen your practice. "There is always farther to go on the spiritual path. We think we've arrived at a place that is really "it," but then something pulls the rug out from under us, putting us beyond that view into deeper insight. It never quite works to build a comfort zone out of meditation. If we're meditation properly, our practice and understanding will always take us a little further than we might think we want to go. By resting in the true meaning of our contemplation, we're becoming familiar with our own wisdom. We're beginning to see reality as it is. Just as we open our perspective beyond what we ever thought it could be, our wisdom thrusts us into yet a vaster world. This is how we keep moving on the path. At each stage of contemplative meditation, we're encountering a deeper level of knowing." Peace! OM Shanti
