"LISTEN...Wipe Up The Milk and Go Get Another Pint!"

You may have heard the story.

A little boy goes out to get some milk and spills it before he can get it home.

He comes back home, crying, crying crying... all because of the spilt milk.

The next day he again goes to get some milk and again, he spills it and again, comes home crying like a little baby.

The next day, the mother asks for her other son to go get the milk.

This he does.

And, like his brother, he too spills the milk.

However, unlike his brother, this boy has a Buddha mind.

Because, not only does he come home with some milk and with a huge happy smile, he also gives his mother a few extra pennies.

How so? What happened?

Because, this boy, on dropping the milk, asked the shopkeeper if there were any chores he could do to make up the money in order to buy the milk again. 

A person possessing a Buddha mind still has problems and issues coming up in life like everyone else.

The only difference is, someone with a Buddha mind works out a solution to the problem and also, learns from it. So it never ever shows up as a problem ever again.

A Buddha mind owner hasn't the time or energy to cry over spilt milk; they're too busy finding answers and solutions... and... lapping up the new milk that they've created from their own effort and endeavor.

Want to have a Buddha mind?

First: crack open the cultural BS hypnosis that you've let wander in that has seemingly taken permanent residence inside of you, one that says you've got to mourn and blame and weep and fuss when unwanted things come your way, or, when wanted things DON'T go your way.

And then, once you've cracked that cultural hypnosis BS that the majority cling to and live by, teach yourself to... GO GET THE MILK... in ALL areas of your life!   

Enlightenment is a self-created experience one practically travels through.
