thoreau#113 - "If one were truly aware of the value of human life, to waste it blithely on distractions and the pursuit of vulgar ambitions would be the height of confusion." Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
#114 - "The only source of blame is the confusion that reigns in our minds, a chaos which Buddhism calls ignorance" - Matthieu Ricard
#115 - "The mind is restless, unsteady, hard to guard, hard to control, the wise one makes it straight, like a fletcher straightens an arrow. How good is it to rein the mind? Which is unruly, capricious, rushing wherever it pleases. The mind so harnessed will bring one happiness. Your worst enemy cannot harm you... as much as your own unguarded thoughts. A well-directed mind creates more happiness than even the loving action of your parents" - The Buddha (translated by Joseph Goldstein)
#116 - "To exercise right mindfulness, the mind must be neither too taut, not too relaxed, like the string of a vina." Kalu Rinpoche
