CHOICELESSNESS

Freedom is not found in desire, but there is freedom in the dhamma. One can make a life that is not based on preferences and attachments. And then, because one's life is not so busy with endless choices-with the many opinions, opportunities, and ideas that we are faced with in a complicated society-there is simplicity. Through this simplicity, and the moral direction, our mind (or heart ) is liberated. We are able to respond and open toward life in a way that we can't when our life is complicated by desire and preference and personal attachment. Having opened to life, we can realise that freedom of the heart doesn't depend on being free to do what we want.
