"We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.
We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.
"Look how he abused me and hurt me,
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.
In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
Only love dispels hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible."
• DHAMMAPADA •
"All phenomena are illusory displays of the mind.
The mind is no mind as the nature of mind is empty.
It's empty, yet it is unceasing and unimpeded,
manifesting as everything whatsoever:
Through careful observation, may the root be cut through."
• RANGJUNG DORJA - the 3rd KARMAPA •>/p>
