"Geese and ducks have flown away

abandoning me.

How happy I am that 

tofu has no wings."

As it is, I would say about 80 to 90 percent of most people's thinking is not only repetitive and useless, but because of its dysfunctional and often negative nature, much of it is also harmful. Observe your mind and you will find this to be true. It causes a serious leakage of vital energy. ~ Eckhart Tolle

 

 

“Rather than distinguishing between emotions and thoughts, Buddhism is more concerned with understanding which types of mental activity are conducive to one’s own and others’ well-being, and which are harmful, especially in the long run.” ~ Matthieu Ricard

 

 

Be extremely careful with your words and actions. It is far better to prevent a problem than to solve one.~ Bhante Sujatha

 


Meditation teaches us to master our thoughts and allows selective thinking to arise naturally. ~ Bhante Sujatha

Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the seas; they live in one another still. For they must needs be present, that love and live in that which is omnipresent. In this divine glass, they see face to face; and their converse is free as well as pure. This is the comfort of friends, that though they may be said to die, yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense, ever present, because immortal.

 

William Penn, Some Fruits Of Solitude
