THE POWER OF THOUGHT
"All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows like a shadow that never leaves."
—The Buddha, Dhammapada 2
The Buddha teaches that our experiences are shaped by the mind; they are led and produced by it. When we speak or act with a pure mind, happiness naturally follows, just as a shadow never leaves its object. This highlights the profound impact of our mental states on our lived reality.
Cultivating a pure mind requires diligent mindfulness and the intentional nurturing of positive qualities such as compassion, loving-kindness, and equanimity. By aligning our thoughts with these virtues, our speech and actions become expressions of our inner purity, leading to harmony within ourselves and in our interactions with others.
Reflect on the nature of your thoughts and the intentions behind your actions. Pause before speaking or acting, considering whether they arise from a place of purity and goodwill. Through continuous practice, you can develop a mind that naturally inclines toward the good, ensuring that happiness accompanies you like an ever-present shadow.
