Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.
* Turn to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post that sentence (plus one or two others if you like) along with these instructions on your blog or (if you do not have your own blog) in the comments section of this blog.
*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
Suffering are numerous and their causes abundant. A wise person can achieve happiness by transforming the causes of unhappiness into favorable conditions.

Oh, this does sound very deep...I generally find the principles to be comforting, though. As if we can change things by changing our attitudes, which I tend to believe.

It is sometimes very, very difficult to be wise enough to do this.

Perspectives on conflict, tension and suffering can be a good thing whether in life or story book. Deep, for sure.

I think I understand that sentence too. Thanks for sharing. I have had books that I felt that way about too... but if I get through them I usually learn something. :D
My teaser is up AND you can win the ebook too.
That sounds easier said than done.

Awesome 56. Buddhism is so wise, isn't it? It's like, 'Oh yeah, I'll do that' and then you turn around and get upset at something trivial. At least, this is what I find for myself! I think it's habit - it's important to train your mind how to respond to stress or even the attitude you have.
My blog all week has been about Stephen J. Cannell and the 56 is no different!
my friday 56.

Tonya, that line is too deep for my English level. But there are many of my co-workers that follow his words and teachings.
I think peace and quiet time would be perfect while you read the book. I hope you'll finish it and share the words to us. Enjoy.
P.S. I didn't have my Friday 56 yesterday I got home late but I'll sure do visit other's posts.
Wow...very deep...:)
