Ajahn Sucitto
Mind is like a substance – it can be made heavy and gritty or spacious and smooth based on how it’s inclined. Incline towards calming and soothing to release stuck energies and release mind’s natural goodness. Intention is something you can have some choice over – you can tune your mind in to the depraved or to the blessed. You can make your mind a refuge.
