a mindful life

"Examine thus yourself from every side.
Note harmful thoughts and every futile striving.
Thus it is that heroes in the bodhisattva path
Apply the remedies to keep a steady mind."

                                              ~~Shantideva

 

 

i do...from every slant and angle...from every dark cloud of thought and every inch of unkindness which wants to grow in my mind...i run towards my fears and seek to remove selfish reactionary desires and actions...i will not let my mind be devoured by wrongfulness...i will not stop until suffering is completely removed...i will not give my ego rule...i am on a path...i will not step from this path...i will not defeat my best self...
