วัดพระธรรมกายดีอย่างไร

Culture as medicine

Just as in every country the food and kitchen should be learnt about, because they have a specific value for that climate and way of life in that country, in the same way, the customs and traditions in every country may serve as means for the inhabitants to deal with the environment, the climate and other local issues. In a way both food and other traditions and customs can be like medicines appropriate for a particular region. Unfortunately, when climate, environment and other local issues change, the creativity in which people adjust their customs and traditions, or invent new customs and traditions, as a response to such changes, seems often to be sadly limited.

Mindfulness is what remains

Mindfulness is not that which you add to your mind, but rather that which remains when you've learnt not to follow through on all the mental chatter.

East and west

OH, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgement Seat;But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from the ends of the earth!

-- Kipling, 1889

Splinter

We have to develop a sensitivity to doing wrong as to a splinter in the feet. Even very small, we feel straight away it isn't right.

Mc Mindfulness?

Nothing is lost when you use mindfulness only for productivity--rather, some things aren't fully gained yet.

Stolp

De Dhamma bestuderen in het heilige leven is net als de stolp van de kaas: het zorgt dat de smaak erin blijft.
