Real
The Path
What must be done.
I doubt. How do I find myself?
By following a path.
What kind of path?
One that trains your mind.
How do I train this mind?
In three simple steps.
What are the 3 steps?
Step 1: Breathe to settle the thoughts
Step 2: Breathe as yourself
Step 3: Breathe
That's it?
That's it.
Have people done this before?
People have been walking this path for 2,500 years.
Is there a name for this path?
Yes. Buddhism.
What do I need to believe?
Let all beliefs go. Even the belief to need a belief.
What do you mean?
Buddhism, belief, breath.
They're all just ideas of the mind.
Let it all go.
Just breathe.
What about the Buddha? Do we need to worship him?
No.
He was simply a man who found himself.
An inspiritation to those who walk the same path.
Is this a gradual path?
Yes. But only because you still believe in a "path" that any "deepening" must happen.
You're already yourself. You just don't see it.
That's why you need to practice. To settle all the noise to see yourself.
This path seems selfish. What about others?
Compassion naturally arises as yourself.
You see others for who they are, too.
You see others lost who they are, too.
How can you help others if you are just as lost?
You practice for yourself — for others.
What do I need to do?
Do not be distracted from the breath.
What about if I'm an experienced meditator?
The breath is the start, middle, and end.
What do I need to do with the breath?
Just breathe. Give all of your attention to the breath.
But who's breathing?
Thinking can't explain it.
Are you thinking or breathing?
