The Mind

Empires will fall – dynasties fade away; but the mind of man will survive the destruction of all inanimate matter – its destiny is eternal. - Edward Counsel

If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to you. - The Buddha

If the mind is not contrived, it is spontaneously blissful, just as water, when not agitated, is by nature transparent and clear. - Unknown

It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways. - The Buddha

It is certain that the nature of the mind is empty and without any foundation whatsoever. Your own mind is insubstantial like the empty sky. - Padmsambhava

It is our mind, and that alone, that chains us or sets us free. - Dilgo Rinpoche

Just as the ocean has waves or the sun has rays, so the mind’s own radiance is its thoughts and emotions. - Sogyal Rinpoche

Learn deeply of the Mind and its mystery, for therein lies the secret of immortality. - Joseph Addison

Let the mind be enlarged…to the grandeur of the mysteries, and not the mysteries contracted to the narrowness of the mind. - Francis Bacon

Only in quiet waters do things mirror themselves undistorted. Only in a quiet mind is adequate perception of the world. - Hans Margolius
