"If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance."
••Samuel Johnson“Self-conquest is far better than the conquest of others. Not even a god, an angel, Mara or Brahma can turn into defeat the victory of a person who is self-subdued and ever restrained in conduct.”
Lama Dharma DingDong
(Discoursing the Dhammapada)
“The awakened mind cannot be defeated by gods, angels, Mara or Brahms because it realises they are all an imaginary figment of the confused and conditioned self-referential mind.”
Downward Dog
“Though one may conquer a thousand times a thousand men in battle, yet he indeed is the noblest victor who conquers himself.”
Lama Dharma DingDong
(Discoursing the Dhammapada)
Lama Dharma DingDong
“It is not what happens in your life that causes you to worry although it can be a contributory factor. What causes you to worry is your unhelpful reaction. Moving away from unhelpful reactions toward helpful responses is the Dharma journey.”
Downward Dog
