future hands needs
So our future is in our own hands. What greater free will do we need?
spiritual frustration emotional
Unless we possess high spiritual qualifications, there is no doubt that the events life throws upon us will give rise to frustration, emotional turmoil, and other distorted states of consciousness. These imperfect states of mind in turn give rise to imperfect activities, and the seeds of suffering are ever planted in a steady flow.
friendship compassion issues
When the only bond between close friends is attachment, then even a minor issue may cause one's projections to change. As soon as our projections change, the attachment disappears, because that attachment was based solely on projection and expectation. It is possible to have compassion without attachment, and similarly, to have anger without hatred.
reality hands noses
Since form is emptiness and emptiness is form, then instead of a hand grasping at nothing, it is better to grasp at someone's nose because this is closer to reality.
quality certain source
How can we eliminate the deepest source of all unsatisfactory experience? Only by cultivating certain qualities within our mindstream.
self discipline negative
Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating negative emotions, should be a defensive measure.
simple contentment shelter
If one's life is simple, contentment has to come.
way construction humans
Constructiveness is the human way.
believe long feelings
Whether someone believes something or not, believer or non-believer, as long as you are a member of the human family, you need warm human feeling, warmhearted feeling.
wish action helping
You can’t help someone just by making a wish to do so, you have to take action.
heart benefits facts
The more we take the welfare of others to heart and work for their benefit, the more benefit we derive for ourselves. This is a fact that we can see.
attitude important behaviour
I feel that a genuine, affectionate smile is very important in our day-to-day lives. How one creates that smile largely depends on one's own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on one's own behaviour.
teaching people benefits
We need to teach people that the environment has a direct bearing on our own benefit.
mean thinking mind
Religion does not mean just precepts, a temple, monastery, or other external signs, for these as well as hearing and thinking are subsidiary factors in taming the mind.
