A few more words from Thay...


This fits perfectly with the topic of last Sunday's meeting. Have a lovely Monday.

All that we are is the result of mind; mind is everything.
When I act with a pure mind, happiness follows like a shadow that never leaves me.
All that we are is the result of mind; mind is everything.
When I act with an impure mind, sorrow follows like the wheels of a cart follow the ox.
I have no knowledge of any heavens or hells other than the ones which we concoct within our own minds, and then inflict upon ourselves and each other.

"I’ve been a monk for 65 years, and what I have found is that there is no religion, no philosophy, no ideology higher than brotherhood and sisterhood. Not even Buddhism."
Thich Nhat Hanh
