Cultivating a Disciplined Mind
Do not be alarmed by the ridiculous thoughts that arise in your mind. Some thoughts may seem enticing and try to pull you into dwelling on them, causing you to lose your control. Whenever you become aware of this, gently guide your mind away from such thoughts, and do not grow impatient with yourself. If you give up too quickly, you have lost the battle before it has even begun, revealing only a lack of discipline. If even the simple habit of training the mind feels too difficult to maintain, how will you uphold the precepts throughout your life? Begin now and set yourself firmly on the path of cultivating a disciplined mind! (D-820511-1)
