Description
In order to change our experiences, we have to change the way we think, feel, and react. As long as we maintain the same habits of mind, our lives will continue with a similar amount of suffering, anxiety, or anger. Buddha teaches us that our lives are projected from our mind. In this episode, we will attempt a daily meditation and mindfulness practice to change our thoughts and feelings and project a new, more peaceful reality. Easy is life For someone without a conscience, Bold as a crow, Obtrusive, deceitful, reckless, and corrupt. Difficult if life For someone with a conscience, Always searching for what’s pure, Discerning, sincere, cautious, and clean-living. One digs up one’s own root Here is this very world If one kills, steals, lies, Goes to another’s partner Or gives oneself up to drink and intoxicants. Good person, know this: Evil traits are reckless! Don’t let greed and wrongdoing Oppress you with long-term suffering. (verse 248) --Buddha, The Dhammapada Links and References Buddha.The Dhammapada.
