When a man seeks the way to Enlightenment, it is like an ox carrying a heavy load through a field of mud. If the ox tries to do its best without paying attention to other things, it can overcome the mud and take a rest. Just so, if the mind is controlled and kept on the right path, there will be no mud of greed to hinder it and all its suffering will disappear. -The Teachings of Buddha By Bukkyō Dendō Kyōkai Great Dhamma Talk, Visionary Metta! =)
Thank you very much for sharing this extremely valuable talk. On one hand, this can be taken as an excellent explanation of the very first verses of Dhammapada. "Fore-run by mind are mental states, ruled by mind, made of mind....." (Translation by Valerie Roebuck)
35:50 - Beautiful exposition of the "Parable of the Sower" Matthew 13: 1-23. Just makes me wonder whether the discussions in some circles about Jesus being a Buddhist / expounding the Dhamma, are true. Many more parallels between Bhuddism and the allegorical teachings of Jesus are replete within the Bible.
All things are impermanent, put forth 👌 effort. Be heedfull. ❤sadhu
