Gautama BuddhaWhatever a person frequently thinks and reflects on, that will become the inclination of their mind.
Gautama BuddhaWhen a man makes utensils out of a metal which has been thoroughly cleansed of dross, the utensils will be excellent. You monks, who wish to follow the Way, make your own hearts clean from the dirt of evil passion, and your conduct will be unimpeachable.
Gautama BuddhaRealizing the doctrine of dependent-arising, the wise do not at all partake of extreme views
Gautama BuddhaWhat is this world condition? Body is the world condition. And with body and form goes feeling, perception, consciousness, and all the activities throughout the world. The arising of form and the ceasing of form-everything that has been heard, sensed, and known, sought after and reached by the mind-all this is the embodied world, to be penetrated and realized.
