The True Victory.




Mind as the Source.

A Quote.

'Buddhist philosophy suggests that everything we experience in this life is stemming from our mind.

Therefore, our mind is like the essence of ourselves.

So if the mind generates something positive, then something positive is manifested if the right conditions are met.

Similarly, if the mind generates something negative, then unpleasant manifestation appears.

Therefore, whatever is manifested externally is very much dependent on how it originated from within.

So if the cause of it, such as the intention, the motivation, the commitment, the effort – all of those causes and conditions – if they are ordinary, then it will be the same case with the manifestation.

And if the causes and conditions are greater, then the same goes for the manifestation.'

... i've heard on a buddhist lecture that we are mind, not bodies.

We have bodies, but these grow old and die, eventually.

... but Mind itself is indestructible - keeps reincarnating in new bodies as new lives are conceived.
