Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
James's comment: Despite all the wonderful and truthful teachings of the Dharma I have found for myself that I can only find the true peace and understanding that these teachings give us through my personal practice.
This is exactly what the Buddha taught. He can only lead us so far with his words and then we must go it alone (so to speak) the rest of the way and experience them for ourselves.
Even while taking refuge in my sangha I must still practice on my own. No one can do the sitting for me.
-Peace to all beings-
