Hope

We should always have a goal in our mind for attaining Dhammakâya, avoiding all that is wrong, and practicing goodness. We should also set intermediate goals, and observe ourselves regularly: did I get better, did I change? Such intermediate progress will give us encouragement, hope and meaning in life.

Make a difference

When we use the word 'making a difference' we often thing of generating some sort of outward change, to change the world. But actually the place where we really make a difference is in our own mind, when we bring it to stillness. From that stillness within that is superb, we will be able to be a true kalyânamitta to our fellow world citizens, without doubt and feeling discouraged. Indeed, to make a difference is to make your mind different first -- by purifying with the power of stillness.

Tending

"Whoever would tend me, you should tend the sick."
       The Buddha, Mahâvagga.

The way the Buddha spread the Dhamma

The Buddha, the Blessed One, was able to spread the Dhamma very fast
because he didn't convert people into Buddhists, but rather he taught
people from all sorts of religions to think Buddhist.

Raising up your mind

What is patience? It means to be in the habit to raise your mind through meditation and right thought. When your mind is imbued with good thoughts to such an extent, that negativity cannot take hold of your mind anymore. This is what the ancients called adhivâsana-khanti, which could be translated as 'the patience of raising up your mind'.

Sure, it is about positive thinking, but it is also about confronting yourself with reality, being realistic to yourself. Khun Yai Ajan used to say that we have to plant some blessings in our mind on a regular basis. I think the meaning is the same here.

Sincerity towards virtue

Sincerity towards virtue means that at the end of the day you can take account to yourself for the extent that you have done your best to do good on any day, without any regrets, and with a feeling of satisfaction imbueing your heart. You can call it conscience, if you will.

ใส่ให้ใจใส

ใสๆ ใครใส่ไว้ในใจ
ใสๆ ใส่กลางภายในใส้ไว้
ใสๆ ใช่ใส่ใจได้ไม่
ใสๆ ใจใสไว้ ใส่ให้ใจใส
