Mind precedes all knowables, mind's their chief, mind-made are they. If with a corrupted mind, one should either speak or act, dukkha follows caused by that, as does the wheel the ox's hoof.

Mind precedes all knowables, mind's their chief, mind-made are they. If with a clear, and confident mind, one should speak and act, as one's shadow ne'er departing.

Conceiving the real in unreality while seeing unreal the truly real, roaming fields of thoughts ill-formed: never they at the real arrive..

That which is real they know as real, that unreal, to be unreal; roaming fields of thought well-formed, they at the real arrive.

The mind is very hard to see and find, it falls on what it wants. One who’s wise should guard the mind, a guarded mind brings happiness.

One of unsteady mind, who doesn’t know True Dhamma, who is of wavering confidence wisdom fails to win.

One of unflooded mind, a mind that is not battered,abandoning evil, merit too,no fear for One Awake.

Whatever foe may do to foe, or haters those they hate. the ill-directed mind indeed can do one greater harm.

We can never obtain peace in outer world until we make peace with ourselves.

A happy man is to satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future

Problems are made up by our mind. Don't look for scapegoats by blaming others. By developing mindfulness, being able to practice letting go and dhamma, life will feel light.

I meditate every day. I do it in the mornings for about 10 to 15 minutes. I think it’s important because it sets me up for the rest of the day

Bathing the baby Bodhisattva

Pangeran Siddhārtha Gautama adalah seorang Bodhisattva, calon Buddha yang terlahir dalam keadaan bersih tanpa noda. Kita semua juga adalah calon Buddha, dengan benih ke-Buddha-an dalam diri kita. Dengan basuhan air ini, kita melakukan penghormatan kepada seorang Bodhisattva dan juga benih ke-Buddha-an dalam diri dan bertekad untuk membersihkan pikiran, ucapan dan perbuatan kita terbebas dari keserakahan, kebencian dan kegelapan batin.

When Siddhārtha Gotama was born, he was born clean and unstained. We have Buddha nature in ourselves and we can attain Buddhahood too in our lives. With this water, we pay homage to Buddhahood in ourselves and determined so that we can cleanse our thoughts, words and acts, free from greed, anger and ignorance.
