Mind is everything. What we think, we become.
Gautama Buddha

Regard this fleeting world like this: Like stars fading and vanishing at dawn, like bubbles on a fast-moving stream, like morning dewdrops evaporating on blades of grass, like a candle flickering in a strong wind... echoes, mirages, and phantoms, hallucinations, and like a dream.
Gautama Buddha

Live contemplating the body through mindfulness. Live contemplating feelings. In this way you will be aware of and control wrong desires.
