Daily Dharma, July 29th, 2009 - Predicting the Future July 29, 2009

Posted by Philip Ryan in : General , trackback

We don’t need a psychic to tell us what our future experience will be—we need only look at our own minds. If we have a good heart and helpful intentions toward others, we will continually find happiness. If instead, the mind is filled with ordinary self-centered thoughts, with anger and harmful intentions toward others, we will find only difficult experiences.

- Chagdud Tulku Rinpoche, Tricycle Summer 1998

…which is NOT to say that one with “a good heart and helpful intentions toward others” will live a life of complete bliss! Even those on the “right” path encounter “difficult experiences.” Suffering teaches us all…Without it, could we be happy???
