The learning from 2013 -2018 seminars Buddha teaching for 5 years we have learnt this project were as follows : 3.1 All states of being are determined by mind. It is mind that leads the ways. As surely as our shadow never leaves us, so well-being will follow when we speak or act with a pure state of mind. (Dhp. 2) 3.2 The mind is so hard to see, so very, very subtle, alighting wherever it likes. The wise should guard it. The mind protected brings ease. (Dhp. 36) 3.3 Life inevitably to death. Our time is short. From decay there is no escape. Reflecting on death in this way and scorning worldly bait, seek final peace. (Sn. 1.3) 3.4 The mind is hard to hold down, swiftly moving, alighting wherever it likes. Its taming is good. The mind well-tamed bring ease. (Dhp. 36) 3.5 Keep your distance from fools and listen to the wise. Make merit day and night and remember impermanence. (Budgh) 3.6 Hunger is the worst disease, conditioned things the worst suffering. Knowing this as it really is the wise realize Nibbana, the highest bliss. (Dhp. 203) 3.7 Every cleansing of the heart is a taste of peace. 3.8 Just water’s strength can be seen when it fails from a great height so is humility the measure of a man’s integrity. 3.9 They whose minds are well-developed in the factors of self-awakening who delight in the shedding of attachments and are purified they are resplendent and unbound in the world. (Dhp. 89) 3.10 Peace is the product of carefully observing the mind without wishing to be any different. 3.11 Free from running after the future and free from sorrow over the past, even in the minds of sensory bombardment the wise person remains calm and cannot be led astray. (Sn. 4.10) 3.12 Blissful is solitude for one who is content who has heard the Dhamma, who sees. Blissful is refraining from harming all living beings. Blissful is dispassionate about worldly affairs, the overcoming of sensuality. But conquering the conceit of I’m that is truly the ultimate bliss. (Ud. 2.1)
