เรา

สิ่งใดที่คนอื่นเขาทำได้ เราก็ทำได้
สิ่งใดที่คนอื่นทำไม่ได้ เราก็ทำให้
-- พระเทพญาณมหามุนี พ.ศ. 2547

Expressions

A person intent on fulfilling his paramis will regard all his work and
actions as expressions of compassion from the still mind within, and
evaluates them as such.

The most important muscles

The most important muscles that a monk needs to train are the muscles
of the eye. What to look at, and what not to look at is the beginning
of the foundation of the holy life.

Honor in your work

To have honor in your work means you can't let the work be fuzzy, it
is a sense of shame and conscience that is healthy and fruitful.

A new self

Making a daily resolution, aditthâna,  is imagining and believing in a
new self.

Ven. Moggallâna's work

It is said that from the two main disciples of the Buddha, Ven.
Sâriputta performed the duty of teaching people until they could
attain Stream-entry, at which they would certainly become enlightened.
Ven. Moggallâna however, would continue to teach stream-enterers till
they attained arahant, at which they had reached the final stage of
enlightenment. Why did the Venerable continue to teach people who were
already destined for enlightenment? Why did he not teach newcomers,
whose minds were filled with impurities? Because he aimed at building
leaders of the Dhamma. If anyone had reached arahantship, he would be
able to devote his time in living and teaching that Dhamma he had
attained, and that would be for the benefit of many.

Sometimes it is better to perfect something already reasonably
well-done, than to do many things reasonably well.

Fellows in aging, sickness and death

Isn't it interesting that everyone looks quite the same when they're
old? Asian, European or American, everyone is wrinkled and grey. We
are all fellows in the same cycle of aging, sickness and death.
