Today's thought: The mind.
From the writings of Bodhidharma:
"The mind is the root from which all things grow. If you can understand the mind, everything else is included. The ignorant mind, with its infinite afflictions, passions and evils, is rooted in the three poisons: greed, anger, and delusion."
The Buddha said: "With our thoughts, we make the world."
When we choose to fill our minds with thoughts of peace, joy, love, honesty, compassion, empathy and charity, and act on these thoughts, we make better lives for ourselves in particular, for others in general, and the planet begins to heal. It all begins in the mind.
Wishing you beautiful blessings for the rest of your lives, and beyond.
Peace. Joy. Love.
