Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWe need to keep a constant watch over our mind and learn to distinguish between the beneficial and harmful thoughts that are arising moment by moment. Those who are able to do this are truly wise.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWe all wish for world peace, but world peace will never be achieved unless we first establish peace within our own minds.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoOur mental attitude transforms a situation into either a problem or an opportunity.
Geshe Kelsang GyatsoWhen things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations, we tend to regard the situation itself as our problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed, we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems, we must transform our mind.
