Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Thanks guys! It took four hours but was worth it. I got it at a tattoo shop called Buddha Box.

Did getting it done give you an opportunity to observe suffering?!

Lol 4 hours worth of suffering!Sam Vega wrote:Looks great!

No, it wasn't all that bad but it was definitely interesting watching all these feelings and sensations come and go. It was an excellent practice in trying to stay mindful and equinimous in the midst of unpleasant feelings. Never again will an aching knee or back seem so bad while sitting in meditation lol. And it was cool because t he guy who did my tattoo is a practicing Buddhist as well so we had fun with it.

Re: Tattoo
Greetings,
Are those flames?
But I thought the Buddha was cool?

Re: Tattoo
I thought of flames, too, because the Buddha said:
"The world is afire." That sentence would fit perfectly to your tatoo.

Also, according to legend, when the Buddha attained enlightenment, rays of light emanated from him and the colors of the rays were:David2 wrote:I thought of flames, too, because the Buddha said:

orange, yellow, white, red, blue
(which is one of the reasons for those colors being on the Buddhist flag)
So orange and yellow were excellent colors to choose for these reasons or more and it looks great!
