Bhuddism - It is the impermanence that result in suffering due to attachment.

Luke 10:4
Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
Money, materialism and position ain't going to last.

Good points.
Also/ that applies to a specific situation + its true enough.
BUT he is not saying not to greet some you love. I never did like sandals much.........:caution::caution:

That's too literal of interpretation imo. It shouldn't be just simply craving, desire or attachment. It should be interpreted as obsession, excessive craving, desire or attachment. Monks have family and friends too. Dalai Lama eats too which stems from the craving for food, baths too which stems from his desire to be clean and is fond of his family and friends and his fellow Tibetans, which stems from his attachment to those he cares about. So do those all make him suffer? I do not believe so.

And it's not just simply the excessive, obsessive and relentless craving, desiring or attaching to something that leads to suffering, it's the excessive, obsessive and relentless craving, desiring or attaching to something but not getting satisfied that leads to suffering. If all the excessive, obsessive and relentless craving, desiring or attaching to something all get satisfied at the end, then there is no suffering. If every single time Bill Clinton (who has sex addiction) obsesses over the sexual desire and gets that sexual desire satisfied, then there is no suffering for him. It's when he doesn't get what wants, that's when he suffers.

all of that when you could have simply said "the middle way".

"paṭipadā refers to a spiritual practice that steers clear of both extreme asceticism and sensual indulgence. This spiritual path is defined as the noble eightfold path that leads to awakening."

I will say this in praise of Buddhism...meditation changed my life. The self discovery of the peaceful observer was life altering.

Is meditation the same as flow?
Flow is a mental state of focused attention so intense that it does not allow us to have cognitive bandwidth left for anything else. It is a state of such profound task-absorption and intense concentration that makes a person feel one with the activity

No
 
Watched the video. I think we've all learned something today. What I learned was next time I see a link to a buddhist video clip, I just have to let it go.
 
If you have a Zen like outlook, & learn how to tap into the flow state it sure can help a great deal with trading.

It is not enough to think outside of the box, you really need to live outside the box having a viewpoint, experiences, & interests other than just chasing paper.

In the modern society, it's hard to exist without money. Even the church needs money to run. Money is strange. When one needs it the most, it's hard to come by. Spend it wisely. In this case, invest wisely.;)
