Dharma Lesson
“It seems we all agree that training the body through exercise, diet, and relaxation is a good idea, but why don't we think about training our mind? Working with our mind and emotional states can help us in any activity in which we engage, whether it's sports or business or study – or a religious path… Training our mind through peaceful abiding, we can create an alliance that allows us to actually use our mind, rather than be used by it. This is a practice that anyone can do.”
Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche
from the book
"Turning the Mind into an Ally"
