Don’t Look Down On The Defilements, They Will Laugh At You

One thing you need to remember and understand is that you cannot leave the mind alone. It needs to be watched consistently. If you do not look after your garden it will overgrow with weeds. If you do not watch your mind, defilements will grow and multiply. The mind does not belong to you but you are responsible for it.

Don't Believe Everything You Think

It can be hard for those of us living in the twenty-first century to see how fourteenth-century Buddhist teachings still apply. When you’re trying to figure out which cell phone plan to buy or brooding about something someone wrote about you on Facebook, lines like “While the enemy of your own anger is unsubdued, though you conquer external foes, they will only increase” can seem a little obscure. Thubten Chodron’s illuminating explication of Togmay Zangpo’s revered text, The Thirty-seven Practices of Bodhisattvas, doesn’t just explain its profound meaning; in dozens of passages she lets her students and colleagues share first-person stories of the ways that its teachings have changed their lives. Some bear witness to dramatic transformations—making friends with an enemy prisoner-of-war, finding peace after the murder of a loved one—while others tell of smaller lessons, like waiting for something to happen or coping with a minor injury.

Awareness Alone Is Not Enough

How much do you know about your awareness? What benefits do you get from being aware? Awareness alone is not enough! You also need to know the quality of that awareness and you need to see whether or not there is wisdom. Once you have seen the difference in mental quality between – not being aware, and being fully aware with wisdom, you will never stop practising.

The Life of the Victorious Buddha

The Life of the Victorious Buddha is a retelling in simple and poetic language of the story of the Bodhisatta's fulfilling of the Perfections, Quest for Awakening: and the Establishing of the religion by the Buddha of our age. The poem was written in Sri Lanka by Ven Medhankara in the 13th century when Buddhist culture was undergoing a renaissance and is a vibrant retelling of the traditional story presented in such works as the introduction to the Jataka Stories. In short and evocative chapters, the main outline of the story is presented, bringing the epic journey through space and time to life in a memorable fashion that is suitable for inspiring and informing older children and adults alike. The poem has been translated into clear and simple language, which maintains the beauty of the original Pali while making the work accessible to the English-speaking world. The book has also been provided with 30 very fine illustrations which help bring the story alive. [Visit Publisher's Website - Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery @ www.kmspks.org]
