Sticking To Notions Of I And Mine

By sticking to notions of 'I' and 'mine' and blindly following the feelings of attraction and repulsion to which these notions give rise, we accumulate negative karma. Let us stop doing that!

True vision and understanding


 

When your mind doesn’t stir inside,

the world doesn’t arise outside.

When the world and the mind are

both transparent, this is true vision.

And such understanding is true

understanding.

 
(Bodhidharma)

Life's Purpose


Inner Peace and External Problems


“Inner peace is the key: if you have inner peace, the external problems do not affect your deep sense of peace and tranquility ...without this inner peace, no matter how comfortable your life is materially, you may still be worried, disturbed, or unhappy
because of circumstances.”

~ Dalai Lama ~

Eyes and Mind


Touching life with awareness


When you touch one thing with deep awareness, you touch everything. The same is true of time. When you touch one moment with deep awareness, you touch all moments.

Thich Nhat Hanh
