"The True Path to Understanding" by Paul Harris

Many come to the Buddha's teaching with fixed ideas and assumptions which cause them to warp the practice and resist instruction. The true path to understanding opens up when we accept that we do not really know. Developing inner honesty and becoming mindful of the transient nature of feelings, we create a space in which to experience the reality of what we do to cause our own suffering. Avoiding the trap of spiritual pride, we steadfastly follow the practice until we come to 'know that we know.'

Paul Harris is the Spiritual Head and principal meditation teacher at the House of Inner Tranquillity.
