What Shakyamuni Taught About Why Your World WON'T CHANGE

Why does the world stay the same no matter how long you chant? Shakyamuni Buddha answered this question directly, not with encouragement, but with a precise phenomenological claim. In the Rohitassa Sutta (Samyutta Nikaya 2.26), he located the entire cosmos, its origin, its cessation, and the path to its cessation, within the fathom-long body of the practitioner. The environment is not an external container waiting to respond to your practice. It is generated at the point of contact between your six sense organs and their objects.
