| If we fall away from the Buddha’s Eightfold Noble Path, we return to it, just as you would steer a car back on the road when it veers into a ditch. Likewise, when the mind is on fire, feel the heat. Know its origin and true qualities, and see its ending – not owning it, not feeding it, let it subside. Awareness sharpens and wisdom deepens right here and now. Step by patient step, carry on with the light of the mind's purity, walking the way as a true friend to yourself, and to all the world. |
