Calm Mind Spiritual quotes :
The path of tranquility is not separate from the path of insight, since the former is concentration on the mind, which then becomes the object of investigation for the latter. 禪定安寧,集中,貫注的路徑與洞察力的路徑是不分開的，因為前者
Calmmind quotes : 27th July 2011
Without tranquility (calm abiding) mind flows, like water, and cannot settle in tranquil absorption. Such a mind cannot attain a true understanding of its inherent purity. Insight devoid of tranquility (calm abiding) is unstable like a butter lamp in the wind, and as such it cannot produce a clear perception of original awareness.
Calmmind quotes :26th July 2011
Leadership is not an affair of the head. Leadership is an affair of the heart.
Jack Welch ever said: "You have no right to be a leader is you don't have it in your soul to build others."
Calmmind quotes : 24th July 2011
If we cultivate our mind with the seeds of happiness, loving kindness, compassion, and reconciliation every day, then those qualities will be able to manifest in us. Such a practice is right effort nourished by joy and it will lead us to optimal mental health.
Calmmind quotes : 23rd, July 2011
Just as any feats to be performed by physical strength are performed by depending on the earth, standing on the earth, and that is how they perform, so too, it is by depending on virtue and the joy resulting from the unconditioned giving i.e. in terms of thoughts, speech and action, standing on virtue and the joy of unconditioned giving, that we develop the right MEDITATION PATH, makes much of the right MEDITATION PATH. In this way we suprress the defiled hindrances that oppose our progress in mental health and intellectuality, we cut off our bad habitual tendencies, and at the moment of fruition of this MEDITATION practice, we achieve tranquilization and escape from all the stresses, emotion and unhealthy habits we used to have. His or her mental state as such is always filled with zeal, resolved with faith, and his cognizance is quite steady.
Calmmind quotes : 22nd, July 2011
Our minds are like writing in stone, writing in sand, and writing in water. Minds that are like writing in stone are deeply ingrained and difficult to remove; those that are like writing in sand can be removed more easily; those that are like writing in water disappear naturally almost as soon as they arise. At present, our deluded minds are like writing in stone and our virtuous minds are like writing in water. We should try to reverse this situation. It is difficult to stop delusions completely but if we conscientiously apply their opponents we can gradually weaken them so that they are no longer engraved in our mind like writing in stone. At first they will become like writing in sand, which can be removed with little effort, and then gradually as their strength continues to diminish they will become like writing in water. Eventually they will disappear altogether --- This is the ESSENCE OF MEDITATION.
Calmmind quotes :19th July 2011
Persistency in our meditation efforts:
Scientists have discovered a lawa that quantitative change bcomes qualitative at a certain stage. For example, if you heat water it evaporates only when the heat is one hundred degrees, never before it. At ninety degrees it may be hot, but not evaporating. At ninety-nine degree it is very hot, but not evaporating. And just one degree more, at one hundred degrees, and a sudden jump, a leap, and the water starts moving. Water is visible, vapor becomes invisible. Water goes downwards; vapor goes upwards. When energy moves downwards, sex is very visible. Awareness is heat. That fire of awareness heats your sexual energy: this is the inner alchemy - and energy starts going upwards, into the frontiers of Truth.
Calmmind quotes : 17th July 2011
Once we say 'mine' we are making ourselves separate from the whole. Now this separation will grow, and each step will take you farther away from the reality, the center, the truth. Once the 'mine' enters then you are a competitor with everybody. Once the 'mine' enters, you life will be a life of competition, struggle, conflict, violence, aggresion. The next step of 'mine' is 'me'. When you have something to claim as yours, suddenly through that claim arises the idea that now you are the center of your possessions. The possessions become your territory, and through those possessions arises a new idea: 'me'. Once you are settled with 'me', you can see clearly that you have a boundary, and those who are outside the boundary are 'you'. The other becomes clear; now things start falling apart.
Calmmind quotes : 17th July 2011
We are in an emotional economy, and every interaction has an emotional subtext. Along with whatever else we are doing, we can make each other feel a little better, or even a lot better, or a little worse.
Calmmind quotes : 16th July 2011
The ego is false. If you live according to the false ego, your whole life will remain false. If you live without the ego your whole life will have the flavor of reality, truth and authenticity.
Calmmind quotes : 16th July 2011
Through meditation we become able to centralize the deluded "I". When we have one "I", then it can be "destroyed". When we have many "Is", they cannot be destroyed. When our energy has become one and is centered, it can be killed, it can be completely destroyed. When it is a crowd it is difficult to destroy it.
Calmmind quotes :16th July 2011
Meditating on the Truth of Kama-Raga on its climax :
Orgasms and addictive substances or behaviors have two things in common. They both produce an initial pleasurable experience, and both are followed by a "hangover." This is a program of neurochemical fluctuations, triggered by orgasm, which appears to continue for a week or two. The sexual satiation (post-orgasm) hangover is innate, or what we have always experienced. That's one reason many never notice its effects - they have always been there. It can be such a subtle part of you that you do not connect the dots, unless you switch to making love without it for several weeks, and then go back to sex with orgasm."What goes up must come down." It’s simple biology; body systems must return to balance, or homeostasis. In this case it's your dopamine (or sensitivity to dopamine) rising and falling. That can play around with your mood and, most importantly for your love life, the way in which you perceive, and treat, your partner. Perception is the key word, and it may change days after the event.
Calm Mind is the quintessence of wisdom, and wisdom is the activity of calm mind.
Calmmind quotes : 16th July 2011
When ignorant people have ideas they merely talk about them, but wise men keep them with their own minds and put them into practice (that is, the wise men meditate on them)
Calmmind quotes : 16th July 2011
Some say change your thought and your life will follow. But also someone else say change your life and your thoughts will follow. That is, our thoughts, behaviors, and emotions are interrelated.
Calmmind quotes :16th July 2011
We need to put a very high value on simplicity. This seems simple enough. In fact very few people put a high value on simplicity. They put some value on simplicity but usually this is a second-order value.
Calmmind quotes :16th July 2011
The Buddha talked about mind framing as a major stumbling block for our suffering. This is also obvious in the business. The roles that people occupy influence the way that problems are seen, or framed. For example, when profits fell in one cosmetic products organization in the early 1980s, key managers were asked to investigate and report on the causes. The marketing managers identified a lack of advertising and promotional support as the key problem. Manufacturing and distribution managers blamed thje marketing group for inaccurate sales forecasting and lack of customer knowledge. nWhile the finance department blamed budget overruns by all departments. Finally, the legal department believed that a lack of new franchising and licensing agreements meant that the organization lacked new products. Thus the best options may be overlooked.
Calmmind quotes :16th July 2011
Most meditators act or behave as self-fulfilling prophecy or self-confirming bias. Similarly, as strategic decision makers, we are most likely, under delusion, to seek confirming evidence that our favored strategy is still working well and that is aligned with the business environment. Inevitably, we do not place ourselves in situations we can test the quality of our judgment.
在佛法中，对于贪心和嗔心都有具体对治方法。其中，关键是破除我

Humans prepare for the future of their lives, yet meet the next life totally unprepared.12th May 2011 Cultivating the mind (heart, citta) is like cultivating a crop. For good crop we need good virtuous seeds and right methods.
Every encounter in our lives is a new golden opportunity for us as a stepping stone to success. Thus failure, as one of our encounters, helps us to become awakening, awareful and wise. Failure helps us to become more awake than success. Success helps us to fall asleep, sometimes without our consciousness.

Mind is passionate in nature like a magnet being attracted to the like and pulled away from the dislikes or remain in neutrality out of hesitation or no decision-making knowledge base. Calming the mind based on wisdom development and cultivation allows us to penetrate into nature all these uncontrollable pull-and-push-and-neutrality forces and take control of our selves.

“Meditation progress is like water evaporation. The water gradually heats up until 100 degree Celsius at the sea ground level and all of a sudden it evaporates and transforms into a different nature - vapor. Our mental quality will be totally transformed all of a sudden on certain aspect when we make persistency by following the right path.” 禪定的旅程就像水分蒸發。水在海平面慢慢加熱到100攝氏度，突

The mind is very clever and cunning: it distorts every great teaching. It jumps upon words, catches hold of the words, and starts giving meanings to them which are not real meanings.

“If you dance, dance so totally that the dancer disappears and only the dance remains, and it will be a transformation. If we chant or recite a holy word, the wisdom springs up at the moment the chanter or reciter disappears but only the absorption into the word and its contents remain. From here meditation will take speedy progress.”
如果你舞蹈，讓你跳舞直到舞者完全消失，只有舞蹈依然存在，這將是一個改造。如果我們歌頌或背誦聖言，當朗誦者完全消失,此刻智慧出現只專心到這朗誦的詞和它的內容仍然存在。從這裡禪定會迅速取得進展。

“Get out of the mind if you want to live. Get out of the mind if you want to live this moment. The mind cannot live in this moment, because first it has to decide, and the moment is lost in thinking. Any by the time the mind has decided that moment is gone already. You are always lagging behind. Mind is always running after life, and lagging behind and missing it continuously.”

Dharma on right views: "And what is right view? Knowledge in terms of stress, knowledge in terms of the origination of stress, knowledge in terms of the cessation of stress, knowledge in terms of the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: This is called right view.
18th April 2011
The human psychology and philosophical nature of behavior is well presented in the Dependent Origination, which can be realized in our heart when we pay mindful attention to our mental conditions. We will realize that our worldviews have been actively guiding our thoughts such as in the co...ntents and contexts of our action planning. When we present this concept in the language of the father of organizational learning (Argyris and Schon, 1974), then we will realize that the hidden active works of worldviews on our thoughts and deeds are the theories-in-use that sort of behavior like the grammar inseparable from and actively and quietly controlling the expressions of every sentence we compose. The thoughts that guide the deeds and speeches are only the first cause of karma or our actions, which can be stated to guide our behavior (i.e. the espoused theories that assert a theory or vision to be taken) but in reality one's habitual behavior is actively controlled by the hidden worldviews. We call these hidden worldviews the 'work of defilements or fetters' i.e. the wrong self-entity view, the precept defects, the suspicious nature of human mind, the hatred or anger nature of our heart, the sensual pleasures or desire nature of our heart, the form clinging, the formless clinging, the dharma restless characteristics, the conceit and the ignorance roots of all defilements.
However if one is trained in the right meditation, wrong views and thoughts will be exposed and corrected, and thus right actions, strategies and behaviors will be established. This is the double-loop learning-cum-development nature of meditation.
“ Right effort and precepts are not the behavior manifested externally, but are your persistent efforts of our inner hearts that are continuously mindful of the ultimate truths and will no longer have emotions or stresses caused or induced by external/internal conditions and phenomena.” 正精進和戒並不是在於你外表的所為，而是不間斷地持續你內在的覺醒與收攝. 眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意六根往內收攝，不再對外攀緣，妄想分別少了，自然能與清淨的自性相應.

“A heart that is empty in is nature isn't really empty in the spacious sense, but is empty in the sense of no more guilty of non-virtuous acts and is one that is filled with wisdom and loving kindness.” 一顆空了的心，並不是什麼都沒有的空，而是空無罪惡且充滿了智慧，充滿了慈悲. Let us inject into our heart 'love, loving kindness, and compassion.' 讓我們注入我們的心中"愛，慈愛和憐憫"。

Envy or jealousy is a deluded mental factor that feels displeasure when observing others' enjoyments, good qualities, or good fortune. Jealousy is the source of much anger, discontent, and disharmony. It feels like a thorn in the heart. When we are jealous our mind (heart) becomes narrow and obsessive, making it difficult for us to think of anything else or to see the situation from the other's point of view. Jealousy is entirely futile because neither does it cause the other person's fortune or good qualities to decline, nor does it increase our own, all it does is to rob us of our own peace and happiness.

“「The definition on birth – is not about the physical birth from mom, but arise from the mother of mentality, which is craving, ignorance and attachment. Craving is the mother. Ignorance is the father. The mix of these two leads to the birth of the self (me, I, mine).” 生的意義──不是由血肉之軀的母親所生的「肉體之生」，而是從精神的母親所生的「精神之生」。所謂精神的母親，主要是指渴愛、無明與執取。渴愛為母，無明為父，這二者結合的結果就是「我」的「生」。
