BOBBEE BEE: WE ARE WHAT WE THINK



We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world. Speak or act with an impure mind
And trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with a pure mind
And happiness will follow you
As your shadow, unshakable.

How can a trouble mind
Understand the way?


Your worst enemy cannot harm you
As much as your own thoughts, unguarded.
But once mastered,
No one can help you as much,
Not even your father or your mother
.


from the DHAMMAPADA, translated by Thomas
