When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick: every time a stick is thrown, you run after it. Instead, be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower. One only throws a stick at a lion once.

One should see that all appearance is like mist and fog.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick

Deep in the wild mountains, is a strange marketplace,where you can trade the hassle and noise of everyday life, for eternal Light.

Accustomed long to contemplating love and compassion I have forgotten all difference between myself and others

I have no desire for wealth or possessions, and so I have nothing. I do not experience the initial suffering of having to accumulate possessions, the intermediate suffering of having to guard and keep up possessions, nor the final suffering of loosing the possessions.

All meditation must begin with arousing deep compassion. Whatever one does must emerge from an attitude of love and benefitting others.
