The Middle Way

Life has a limit, but knowledge has no limits.

For the limited to pursue the unlimited is futile.

To know this and still pursue knowledge is even more futile.

In doing good, avoid fame.

In doing evil avoid punishment.

Thus, by pursuing the middle way, you may preserve your body, fulfill your life, look after your parents, and live out your years.

The Power of Creativity

Whether we realize it or not, in every moment, the way we pay attention, the way we interact with everything inside and outside of us, is creative.

Our whole way of existing is a function of creativity; everything we do is creative.

As impressions from life enter into us, with our own hands, psychologically speaking, we take those impressions and transform them according to our own understanding. And the result of that transformation is within us.

The mind shapes our life. We become what we think. – Buddha

You cannot create a symphony unless the knowledge to do so is within your mind. A symphony cannot be created by accident.
