“There is nothing so
disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a
disciplined mind.”
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When
the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.”
“All that we are is the result of what we have thought: it is
founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or act with
an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the hoof of the
beast that draws the wagon…. If a man speak or act with a good thought,
happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves him.”
“Whatever a monk keeps pursuing
with his thinking and pondering, that becomes the inclination of his
awareness.”
“Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded.”
“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people
create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.”
“Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.
Suffering follows an evil thought as the wheels of a cart follow the oxen that
draws it.”
“Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.”
