PRIMARY ROLE OF MIND The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character; So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love Born out of concern for all beings… As the shadow follows the body, As we think, so we become 2
- 31. When you attain Enlightenment…you no longer have a will that is separate from that of others. It’s as though you utterly identify with others, and with what they are doing….You don’t experience another person as a sort of brick wall you are coming up against, and you no longer experience yourself as a separate and conflicting solid force. You experience others in a completely different way: they become diaphanous or transparent, because your will is not coming into collision with theirs. This completely different, more relaxed, lighter, freer attitude taken to the nth degree, is something of the nature of Enlightenment. The world is the same but you see it differently. Sangharakshita ‘Know Your Mind’ pg 53

Notes de l'éditeur
- ‘ rescue’ = hunks in trunks, bubbly, free goodies will rescue you from your problems and suffering.

- 2000 = 6 billion 2020 = 7.5 billion 2060 = 7.5 – 11 billion (mean = 9 billion) Therefore in 60 years population grown by a third! Worst projection by 2100 = 14 billion = more than 2 x a century earlier
- Meditation that is turning towards mind/heart and examining what is actually going on. Sitting with one’s own experience and really looking.
- Actions have consequences rather crude label for a complexity of conditions rising and falling
- Master your words, master your thoughts, never allow your body to do harm. Follow these 3 roads with purity and you will find yourself upon the one way = the way of wisdom. dpada
- Dpada first verse.
- Dhammapada – sayings of the buddha
- mind becomes like gold when worked = pliant, malleable, luminous.
- COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, COMMUNISM, CHRISTIANITY

- Generosity - Fulfilling basic need, and/or helping to relieve suffering, and/or generating financial surplus
- Of being too conservative – getting world to change to fit buddhism

- By day the sun shines, and the warrior in his armour shines. By night the moon shines, and the master shines in meditation. But day and night those who are awake shine in the radiance of their spirit. With a quiet mind, come into that empty house, your heart, and feel the joy of the way beyond the world. Look within – the rising and falling. What happiness! How sweet to be free!
