Mind is the
Maker and the Creator!
The blessed
Buddha once said:
Mind precedes and
initiates all phenomena!
Mind is their chief, mind is their maker...
When one speaks or performs an action
with a mind, that is internally all pure,
then happiness
and pleasure follows,
like a shadow that never departs...
Dhammapada 1
Difficult to detect and very subtle,
mind can seize and take up any object,
so let any wise being guard the mind,
for a guarded mind brings happiness...
Dhammapada 36
Neither mother, nor father, nor any other
family member can do greater good, both
for oneself and for others as well, than
the well directed & well controlled mind...
Dhammapada 43
What is
Mind?
Mind is an ever repeating cycle sequence of:
Contact1 => Feeling1 + Perception1 =>
Intention1 => Attention1 redirected =>
New Contact2 => Feeling2 + Perception2 =>
Intention2 => Attention2 => etc.
Stilling this cycle produces Peace
and Bliss!
This serene
Tranquillity is called:
Nibbāna!
