Buddhism, Simple, Giving

In your thoughts, you need to be selective. Thoughts are powerful vehicles of attention. Only think positive thoughts about yourself and your endeavors, and think well of the endeavors of others.

Powerful, Buddhism, Thinking

Gain control of the mind and make it still, initially just during periods of meditation, but then throughout the day and throughout the night.

Buddhism, Night, Meditation

There are parts of us that are miserable, that hate, that love, that are cruel, are kind, are reasonable, are unreasonable. You know, you live inside your own mind. Who are you kidding?

Hate, Buddhism, Mind

When you are not meditating, eliminate hate, doubt, fear, anxiety, negative thoughts and emotions that limit your consciousness, that bind you to a sense of self, of ego.

Hate, Buddhism, Self

You have to look at your own thought forms. Are you sitting around and thinking a lot of negative thoughts? These injure the subtle body. When you hate, when you are angry, you bring that energy through you.

Hate, Buddhism, Thinking

Every time you find yourself becoming angry, jealous or frustrated, stop and think the opposite thought.

Jealous, Buddhism, Thinking

If you can't hold a person in your mind with a good thought, it is better not to think about them at all.

Buddhism, Thinking, Mind

When you find yourself dwelling on something negative, consciously use your willpower to remove your mind from that which is negative. Move your mind into the flow of something positive.

Moving, Buddhism, Dwelling

When you are just thinking a lot of silly thoughts and having a lot of worries, you waste a tremendous energy and power and you put yourself into very limited states of mind. You slow down your evolutionary process.

Silly, Buddhism, Thinking

Power either goes up or down. Your thoughts are the harness of power. It is necessary to think positive thoughts, not just wait for them to occur, but to introduce them.

Buddhism, Thinking, Waiting

If you hold a negative thought, then it will become more powerful and not only will it send bad energy to the person, but it will crash your consciousness. All the hard work of meditating is sabotaged.

Powerful, Hard Work, Buddhism

In every situation, feel before acting, just for a second. Look for a feeling.

Buddhism, Feelings, Acting

Whenever you find yourself becoming angry or jealous, try to see good quality in the person. You will suddenly be thinking a higher thought and that will elevate you.

Jealous, Buddhism, Thinking

This is the process of mental analysis, sifting through the selves, sifting through your thoughts, practicing mindfulness, learning to control thought.

Buddhism, Self, Mindfulness

Spend time all day and all night monitoring your thoughts, constantly keeping them in a high plateau. Avoid places and people that pull your energy down.

Buddhism, Night, People

Your ability to still your mind through the process of meditation and inner reflection and outer change brings a stillness to the mind all the time, even in the midst of the busiest activities.

Buddhism, Reflection, Meditation

If we try and direct our lives with only our limited rationalistic thoughts and our sense perceptions, then our actions and our activities will not be prefect.

Buddhism, Perception, Trying

Frederick Lenz (1994). “Surfing the Himalayas: conversations and travels with Master Fwap”, Interglobal Seminars

In Zen we do everything perfectly. We feel that our outer actions are a reflection of our inner state. We call it mindfulness.

Buddhism, Reflection, Mindfulness

It is necessary to go through all the daily tasks and bring perfection to them.

Buddhism, Daily Tasks, Perfection

When you do something half-heartedly, you don't get much of a result. When you do it fully, you get a great result.

Buddhism, Mindfulness, Half

You are moving in and out of different advanced states of mind through your practice of meditation and mindfulness. It's that level of excellence that gives you joy in life, not the fact that you won or lost.

Moving, Buddhism, Practice

Our actions and experiences will direct us. In other words, we will be guided by the inherent emptiness of the things we choose to interact with.

Buddhism, Mindfulness, Our Actions

Frederick Lenz (1994). “Surfing the Himalayas: conversations and travels with Master Fwap”, Interglobal Seminars

The unlimited mind, the diamond mind of the Buddha, is your mind, if you can get in touch with it. Stop thinking so much and tap into that psychic part of your being.

Buddhism, Thinking, Psychics

Think about what is in front of you, if you must think.

Buddhism, Thinking, Mindfulness
