Beanplating Buddhism | Ask MetaFilter
Anyone want to answer a newbie Buddhist with a few Dharma questions?
...can you truly accept a situation without some desire or outcome (e.g. greater peace) in mind, even if it is in the back of your mind?...If you want to eliminate desire, isn't that in itself a desire? And can anyone do anything without serving one desire or another? If you took this to a logical extreme, you'd stop desiring food and die. Are practicing Buddhists anywhere close to eliminating desire?
