Our mind is full of anger, jealousy and other negative feelings. Yet we do not realize that these are incompatible with inner peace and joy.

Be greatly aware of the present.

And he who has considered all the contrasts on this earth, and is no more disturbed by anything whatever in the world, the Peaceful One, freed from rage, from sorrow, and from longing, he has passed beyond birth and decay.

Let your mind become clear like a still forest pool.

We are formed and molded by our thoughts. Those whose minds are shaped by selfless thoughts give joy when they speak or act.

"All conditioned things are impermanent" - when one sees this with wisdom, one turns away from suffering.

Remembering a wrong is like carrying a burden on the mind.
