“If, like a broken gong, you silence yourself, you have approached Nibbana, for vindictiveness is no longer in you.”

 “Just as a cowherd drives the cattle to pasture with a staff, so do old age and death drive the life force of beings (from existence to existence).”

Lama Dharma DingDong
(Discoursing the Dhammapada)

You think it now and then…
Yes, the thought excites you…
Well, wake up and start it…and
Don’t let attitude win again…

"I think that we as a people are always prone to think about, well, tomorrow will be a better day.  Well, why will it be a better day?  And I think the more that we believe in doing things better, doing the right thing rather than hoping that that's going to happen, let's make it happen."
