Guarding Against Misfortune

Post by Ngawang Drolma »

Guarding Against Misfortune

"It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within ones own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled."

----Shakyamuni Buddha

It's definately true! Misfortune arises in the uncontrolled mind and slowly dissipates in the controlled mind.
