The Mind

Control of the mind is the key to happiness. It is the kind of virtue and the force behind all true achievement. It is owing to lack of control that various conflicts arise in man’s mind. If he is to control them, he must learn not to give free rein to his longings and inclinations and should try to live a self-governed, pure and calm life. - K. Sri Dhammananda

It is in our own mind and not in exterior objects that we perceive most things; fools know scarcely anything because they are empty, and their heart is narrow; but great souls find in themselves a number of exterior things; they have no need to read or to travel or to listen or to work to discover the highest truths; they have only to delve into themselves and search, if we may say so, their own thoughts. - Luc de Clapiers

Our different existences are based on one subtle mind. The subtle mind is the holder of all good and bad karma. When we act/produce/react, it becomes a form of imprint on our mind which is the subtle mind. Actually, the main goal is to go deeper into our subtle mind. Meditate with the subtle mind, that is our goal. - Dagyab Rinpoche
