Imagine that you have everything". Favorite exercise Buddha

Once after a sermon the Buddha was surrounded by a large number of people. The sermon dealt with the art of following Dharma and has caused people confusion and a lot of questions that boiled down essentially to one: how to find your vocation as among the many world to learn and fulfill their own destiny?



The Buddha offered the rest to do his favorite exercise. "Imagine that you have everything, — said the Teacher — money, housing, friends, fame, power — all that you feel necessary. You are smart and beautiful, your body is healthy. You have what only you want, in all the worlds. And then you Wake up in the morning, I get up, a new day begins. What will you do?"

People at first it was very hard to imagine it — inertia of thought back to the satisfaction of usual daily needs. But one managed to ignore it, then another, the third is the exercise began to give results. Someone spoke about that will child-rearing, the other saw himself studying the movements of the stars, the third wanted to build a comfortable life in the city. And someone just said if it's all there, he's going to share it with the needy.

"You just told me about his mission, summed up by the Buddha. — Left, without losing time, start to execute it. So hurry up."
