Hi,
I am new to the forum, just created an account here just now.
There are some books that are interesting to beginners, like 101
questions on Buddhism or 101 questions on Guan Shi Yin Pusa.
Books written by Dr K Sri Dhammananda like anxiety and worries are
good read, as they deal with the twin evils of worry and anxiety in
everyday lives.
These twin evils made us look older than we are if we are to worry
about small unimportant and important matters daily.
To use science to explain, when we worry or are angry, we release
chemicals to the body (forgot the term), but when we are happy or
singing ktv, we are releasing endorphins (dunno correct or not), or
when we made love, we releases oxytocins to the body, thats why we
feel great after love session isn't it.
So everyday we are releasing a lot of bad chemicals or poisons to
our body when we are angry, worried, frustrated, sad etc.
This is the nature of this world, where we humans experience
happiness and sufferings.
Another thing I wanna add is because we tend to read a lot on
buddhism, we may begin to think we know alot and thus mistook that
for wisdom. That may help , but its actually said and realised by
the Buddha and some masters, not our own wisdom.
