We deal with our mind from morning till evening, and it can be our best friend or our worst enemy.
Matthieu RicardWhen the mind is full of memories and preoccupied by the future, it misses the freshness of the present moment. In this way, we fail to recognize the luminous simplicity of mind that is always present behind the veils of thought.
Matthieu RicardWisdom and compassion should become the dominating influences that guide our thoughts , our words, and our actions.
Matthieu RicardMind training is based on the idea that two opposite mental factors cannot happen at the same time. You could go from love to hate. But you cannot, at the same time - toward the same object, the same person - want to harm and want to do good.
