Buddha Collection | Inspirational Teachings from the Buddha

The mind when left to its own device is hard to control. It is in constant motion, consistently changing to one state of mind to the next. But with right attention, self-control and effort, we can tame the wandering mind. Training the mind is an imperative teaching of the Buddha that will help us gain a greater understanding into our psyche. 

The name 'Buddha' means the awakened one or enlightened one - one who has awakened to reality. His teachings are called the Dhamma and he explains the importance of training the mind by examining and reflecting on its state. He describes that all our suffering come from disorderly and negative thoughts such as jealousy, anger, and ignorance. For this reason, we should make the necessary effort to eliminate the negative thoughts from our mind. Likewise, our happiness and peace of mind come from positive traits of the mind such as love, kindness, patience, and compassion. Surely, by taming the negative aspects of the mind and learning to develop the positive qualities of the mind, we live in tune with ourselves and are one with the universe.

Hence, Buddha by his effort and intelligence has awakened to reality. He shines the way to a path that frees our minds and hearts from a deep sense of ignorance. He taught that true wisdom is to be realized and experienced through persistence, hard-work, and discipline. 

In essence, we are in control of our destiny and are responsible for our actions. It is never too early or too late to train the harmful thoughts of the mind and to develop the positive traits of the mind. Only then can we experience the fruit of eternal wisdom and find everlasting happiness. May all sentient beings taste the sweet nectar of true wisdom. And, live in harmony with love in their hearts.
