The Mind Body Unity @BodyMindUnity

Briefly cultivate the mind of gratitude, recognising the good fortune that you have had thus far in your life; reflect on the great kindness that you have received from others.

If we do not cultivate a good heart, our selfish motivation destroys harmony and good relationships with others. We have no peace, and no chance to gain pure happiness. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

We should realize that our deadliest enemies are anger and the other delusions.

Even if we never found the opportunity to sit down to study and meditate throughout our entire life, but we truly learnt to practice patient acceptance every moment of the day, we would make vast progress on the path to enlightenment. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

It is very important to be able to distinguish unpeaceful states of mind from peaceful states. States of mind that disturb our inner peace, such as anger, jealousy, and desirous attachment, are called ‘delusions’. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Delusions are the principal causes of all our suffering. We may think that our suffering is caused by other people, by poor material conditions, or by society, but in reality it all comes from our own deluded states of mind. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

The essence of Dharma practice is to reduce and eventually to completely eradicate our delusions, and to replace them with peaceful, virtuous states of mind. This is the main purpose of training in meditation. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

If we truly understand the value of patience, we will never resent an opportunity to practice it. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

Normally we divide the external world into that which we consider to be good or valuable, bad or worthless, or neither. Most of the time these discriminations are incorrect or have little meaning. ~ Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

It all starts with ourselves. Find a TM teacher at learntm.org/2P8vjcf

Sometimes it can be helpful when we are travelling to put our distractions away, allow our mind to come into the present moment and gently reflect upon our good fortune.

Reflect on a time in your life when someone has shown you kindness and helped you in some way. Return to this experience. Try not to just remember what happened, but what you felt when you received the kindness. How was that feeling inside?
