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."

Miracles of Understanding




An interview with Thay in the Bangkok Post.
Peace and reconciliation are possible if Thai citizens and politicians renew and apply engaged Buddhism in their lives and political activities.
