Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Friends: Mind is the Maker & Creator! Mind precedes & initiates all phenomena,mind is their chief, mind is their maker...When one speaks or performs an actionwith a mind that is internally all pure,then happiness & pleasure follows,like a shadow that never departs... Dhammapada 1Difficult to detect and very subtle,mind can seize & take up any object,so let any wise being guard the mind,for a guarded mind brings happiness... Dhammapada 36Neither mother, nor father, nor any other family member can do greater good bothfor oneself and for others as well, than the well controlled & directed mind... Dhammapada 43 What is Mind ?Mind is an ever repeating sequence of:Contact => Feeling => Perception => Intention => Attention => New Contact etc.Stilling this cycle produces Peace & Bliss!This serene tranquillity is called Nibbāna! PS: Please include the word Samahita in any comment, since then will my automatic mail filters pick it up and I will see it & respond!! Bhikkhu Samahita, Sri Lanka. Friendship is the Greatest ... Let there be Calm & Free Bliss !!! http://What-Buddha-Said.net Buddha-Direct What_Buddha_Said Dhamma-Questions sent to my email are quite Welcome.
