Changed

 

I am always grateful to Lama Surya Das for teaching four Buddhist mindchangers in his book “Awakening the Buddha within”. The mindchangers deserve rote learning.

I found great strength in spirit in these concepts.

“This precious human existence, this lifetime, full of leisure, choice, and opportunity, is difficult to attain, tenuous, and easily lost; So practice your spirituality with diligence!”

“Everything is impermanent, our life’s breath is like a bubble on a fast flowing mountain stream. The hour of our death is uncertain, and we leave this world alone.”

“The law of Karma is like the shadow which follows the body. Virtuous and non virtuous thoughts, words, and deeds procreate in kind.”

All the contents of Samsara, both pleasure and pain, are like a public feast we pass through on the way to the grave.”
