HOW TO RELAX YOUR MIND
A mind filled with tension
and unhappiness leads to negative thoughts. Such a mind creates problems to oneself and
others…………….
In constrast ,a mind which
is relaxed and happy comes from positive
thoughts. Transforming negative thoughts into positive thoughts is the hallmark
of wisdom. It is well illustrated by Gautama Buddha, in an anecdote…………
.
Once Buddha was addressing
a large gathering of disciples. During the discourse, one person, out of
jealousy, abused Buddha. Buddha lovingly replied,” People are waiting to listen
to my discourse in the neighbouring village; please do come tomorrow.”…………..
The man was shocked. He asked Buddha, “ Are
you not hurt by my harsh words ?” Buddha replied,”In order to hurt me, you
should have met me before my Enlightenment. Just as fire loses its potency when
it come into contact with water, your words, even though full of fury, lost
their sharpness when they are hurled at me now.”
*** This is the positive
thought centre one has to awaken*****
