The above quote is all over the net, i am not quite sure if its an accurate translation of the suttas, but here is one link for your reference:

Thanks Bundokji - it isn't a reliable quote because it still doesn't mention the source it originated from such as a sutta reference.

I wish i can find an offline teacher here in Jordan, but things aint as easy as i thought. The other day i tried to use the internet to search for any buddhist community where i currently live, and this is what i found:

Oh dear, I'm sorry to see that Bundokji.

You could try the Buddhanet worldwide search - but maybe it won't come up with anything in your area.

From my own offline experience, I'd advise seeking a meditation teacher if at all possible - but to be cautious of people who are known as 'gurus' and investigate carefully! It's possible to become over-dependent on charismatic teachers... rather like a long-term addiction in some ways.
