Food for Thought #51

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

The study of the principles of the Dhamma is a major factor in controlling and overcoming the senses; as the senses are overcome, increasing tranquility and realization are experienced. Tranquility comes from stilling the senses; realization of the truth comes from opening the curtain of sense - related frustration that has obstructed your view for so long.
