Thought for the Day

“The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
born out of concern for all beings.”

~ Buddha

“He is able who thinks he is able.”

~ Buddha

“Do not dwell in the past,
do not dream of the future,
concentrate the mind on the present moment.”

~ Buddha

Thought for the Day

“We are what we think.
All that we are arises
with our thoughts.
With our thoughts
we make our world.”

~ Buddha

The Four Reliances

First, rely on the spirit
and meaning of the teachings,
not on the words;

Second, rely on the teachings,
not on the personality of the teacher;

Third, rely on real wisdom,
not superficial interpretation;

And fourth, rely on the essence
of your pure Wisdom Mind,
not on judgmental perceptions.
