· Free from effort

Also “without effort,” here it says. This is one of the qualities of the Buddha—here it says “free from effort,” or without effort. For example, when Buddha teaches or when Buddha sees objects, Buddha doesn’t have motivation, Buddha doesn’t have effort. In other words, Buddha doesn’t have to think. Buddha doesn’t have to remind for himself—it’s beyond thinking, it’s all spontaneous, just happens all the time, naturally happens. Buddha doesn’t have to think “I want to meditate, I want to go and help these people and those people. I want to investigate more and try to see what is right and what is not right.” Buddha doesn’t have this kind of intention, or Buddha doesn’t have effort. He doesn’t need effort—it all comes naturally, automatically, spontaneously. No activities with effort. All the activities that Buddha is doing—helping all beings—it comes naturally, it is there already. No motivation. It’s natural.

One of the first stumbling blocks that Westerners often encounter when they learn about Buddhism is the teaching on anatta, often translated as no-self. This teaching is a stumbling block for two reasons. First, the idea of there being no self doesn't fit well with other Buddhist teachings, such as the doctrine of kamma and rebirth: If there's no self, what experiences the results of kamma and takes rebirth? Second, it doesn't fit well with our own Judeo-Christian background, which assumes the existence of an eternal soul or self as a basic presupposition: If there's no self, what's the purpose of a spiritual life? Many books try to answer these questions, but if you look at the Pali canon — the earliest extant record of the Buddha's teachings — you won't find them addressed at all. In fact, the one place where the Buddha was asked point-blank whether or not there was a self, he refused to answer. When later asked why, he said that to hold either that there
