Cartoon Buddha flips from misery to joy w/ sfz title



MISERY IS NO PLACE TO LIVE - 


"Relapses are often 

fatal. We have attend-

ed funerals of loved ones

who died from relapse. They

died in various ways. We of-

ten see relapsers lost for

many years, living in

misery."  (The Basic

Text, p. 79)





KEEPING OUR ACTIONS "PURE" SO HAPPINESS MAY FOLLOW -


"We are sure God 

[or Our HP] wants us

to be, happy, joyous and

free." "[However] ... it is

clear that we made our own

misery. God didn't do it.

Avoid then, the deliber-

ate manufacture of

misery... ." (The

Big Book, p.

133)




"If one speaks

or acts with a cruel

mind, misery follows, as

the cart follows the horse

... . If one speaks or acts

with a pure mind, hap-

piness follows, as a

shadow follows

its source."


- the Dhammapada (circa 500 BC) a version of Buddhist scripture







HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
