optimism is a discipline

The mind doesn't gain wisdom by adding more thoughts. It gains wisdom by seeing through habitual patterns.

Don't force my children to be responsible for my happiness.

all karma originates from mind. Peace of mind is not a blessing but a commitment, a choice.

It's not that we stop having those feelings of negative or difficult. We just stop identifying with them; we don't let them occupy us.

Be the thing you want to see more of in the world.

Don't give away things you wouldn't want yourself. Advice, for instance.

When my time comes, I'll be able to greet death with an open face knowing I've lived a good life.

Faith, trust, pray，intelligence of the moment

这会过去。this shall pass as well.

Find at least one example everyday, what went well? 发生了什么好的事情？

Find at least one answer every day, what am I grateful for? 我感恩什么？

有用吗？Is this thought useful? How is it behaving? 它对我的身体产生了什么影响？

I was the world in which I walked, and what I saw. Or heard or felt came not but from myself; and there i found myself more truly and more. Strange

Situ Rinpoche is not worried. It's your impure perception which sees Situ Rinpoche as worried. Ran might not think it an issue not having a girlfriend now, it's my mind thinking him having an issue.

Ask questions instead of defending myself.

Sop rumination. Rumination triggers brain into thinking you're solving a problem- you are not.

If the pain of somebody else terrifies me, I do tonglen, and it destroys my fear. I do it over and over again until I find I can think of their pain with compassion instead of fear.

过午不食

所有发生的事是我的因果，我如何对待是我的修行

我们的注意力应聚焦在生命中美好的而不是黑暗的时刻。生命的深刻在于信任美好一定会到来

人待我是因果，我待人是修行。

我们的痛苦来自于无知。来自于强求违反宇宙真理的事情。

Say amitapha when having lust or being angry

被需要的需要。让别人知道我需要他们

人越是不允许什么，那个东西就越是让人痛苦。允许任何事情发生。

the reality reflected in my mind, and my visualisation or imagination, for my mind these two are the same.

我并不期待人生可以过得很顺利，但我希望碰到人生难关的时候自己可以是它的对手。

重要的不是治愈，是带着疾病活下去。

如果今天就是我生命中的最后一天，我有没有遗憾

The love of others makes life meaningful.

This is our choice in every moment. Do we relate to our circumstances with bitterness or with openness?

This moment won't come again.

我喜欢我自己吗？

我只担心一件事，我怕我配不上我所遭受的苦难。

诞生到一个荒谬的世界上来的人唯一真正的职责是活下去，是意识到自己的生活，自己的反抗，自己的自由。

If this was my last day on earth would i be happy with what I am doing?

Not to push out any feelings including fear, worrying, angry. Just observe. Be curious and explore.

how can I lose? I started with Nothing.

细节，体会和注重细节

发愿，并确切实行。

心中默念阿弥陀佛一小时，两小时，廿四小时不间断。念佛三昧。

打扫卫生，挑菜，走到车站，开车等等都不是浪费时间。他们是生活的一部分，珍惜生活的每一部分。

用打坐代替睡眠。不倒单

对我来说有没有比死亡更重要的东西。了生死。

转念。负面念想转到正面念想。一念天堂，一念地狱。

我被自己习性控制。逆习性就是苦行。修苦行。

别人给我刁难，责备，羞辱都是在帮我消业障。

Speak to Dong and Ran as if they are the wisest, kindest, most beautiful, and magical humans on earth. For what they believe is what they will become.

Commit myself to God, and let God decides my life.

我不得不做这样的选择，而我依然做了这样的选择。加‘不得不‘只是给了自己一个抱怨的借口。但抱怨又有什么好处呢？我有选择的自由，每一时每一刻。。。我选择什么？

I'm not my body. If my body has issues, I can still be happy.

We think worry does something, actually it doesn't accomplish anything.

我可能错了。我对自己的每个念头，再也不相信了。

Thanks for bad people to give us opportunity to practise patience, resilience and make my life interesting

Be kind to my mind

吃亏是福，挑战个人中心主义, practise compassion

圣严法师，老人重病卧床可以念佛。念不出声可以心里念。为照顾自己的人祈福，为世人祈福。这样还能为世人做贡献。

Stress and cortisol mask our aches, pains and fatigue. Relaxation brings them to the surface.

You aren't the voice in your head, you are what listens

May I be happy, may I be well, may I be kind to myself

Meditate on the sensation but not on the story line, meditate on the feeling of suffering.

Don't train myself to have the habit to always run away from discomfort, and don't train myself to have the habit to always chase sensual stimulation

It's ok to worry, it's ok to be sad and unhappy. Just observe myself. I allow my life to be imperfect, to have pities.

Mind is my best friend, mind is my worst enemy

Change for change's sake

While we are alive, our life is energy, and after death, we continue to be energy. That energy is continually changing and transforming. It can never be lost.

The purpose of work is not to earn bread, but to train my ability to focus with strong brain power

You can't reason away your doubts and uncertainties

What can I do? If there is nothing I can do, so be it. Accept it. Surrender, 100% surrender , no resistance, no complain.

Om. Ah. Hung

To accept a feeling is not to agree to it or like it, but to receive it so we are no longer separate from it, we have made it ourselves. And whatever we make an indivisible part of ourselves ceases to have authority over us simply because it is us.

I forgive myself, I have compassion for myself

念身不求无病。身无病则贪欲乃生。贪欲生必破戒退道。知病性空病不能恼。以病苦为良药。

不抱怨，担心任何人

Before say anything, confirm.Is it true, helpful, kind?

Who am I? What do I want? What's my purpose? What am I grateful for?Can I live with this feeling forever, sadness, feeling of being treated unfairly, craving?

When walking, say to myself lift (foot), drop, lift, drop...

Focus on the pause of breathing

Limit or no dairy food

Not to eat to enjoy, but to purify my mind

No attachment for taste. No craving for certain food

Give thanks for food. Be grateful

2 meals a day. Cut down for dinner. Not eat until full.

keep cool until cold

Focus on process not result

Say constantly. I'm not the body. I'm not the mind.

Will I survive if it's reset to the time I came to Australia with 120k? Will I survive if I lose all the money in bank??! Will it be ok if I have terminal disease today? Will it be ok if I die tomorrow???

What's my legacy for Dong and nini. I want to leave with them my courage, my kindness, and my big smile.

I can live a life full of stress and hard work

Live a joyful, courageous live

Give others the freedom to dislike me.

Accept and live with uncomfortable feelings and physical pain

Fine tune my mind to be calm and happy

I am the awareness. I am aware of the body. I am aware of the mind . I am aware the sickness. I am aware the craving.

Accept the feeling by asking if i can live with it for ever.

Do Not lie

The thinking mind desperately wants to fight the pain, the sensing body does not.

It is not stress that determine our well-being, but our perception of it. Attachment.

Pursue silence than sensational pleasure

Allow myself to be sick, allow myself to feel sick

I'm not the body. I'm not the mind.

Mind follow patterns, awareness does not.

Practise skills with living with suffering

Selfishness creates fear, anxiety and worry. Nothing belongs to me in the beginning and also in the end

Don't close my INNER heart by OUTSIDE situations.

Watch my fear. Watch closely my fear. Just observe. No resistance. No denial. Keep calm. Just watch.

It's ok to feel insecure, to fear, to be worried, just be present

Whenever I feel low, say No good , no bad, no craving, no aversion, no thinking, no concept, no past, no future, lord, let me be, let me just be. No resistence, be a service

Say thank you. Say thank you, whenever I feel low.Thanks for health. Thanks for air to breathe. Thank for I can say thank you. thanks for family....

Focus something that matters for you, but not focus on the sickness itself. Or probably never focus on anything negative at all

Life is not about avoiding suffering

Death always wins. We live to prepare for it.

Enjoyment is not a problem, attachment is. Planning is not problem, attachment to results is.

Why am I scared of being ignored? Attachment instead of friendship or love

Make peace with physical and mental pain

人在遇到烦恼时，都会无意识地把它放大，以致于让自己深陷进去。

Do I always need something to worry about?

Catch all my thoughts and put them down

Real generosity is to accept others' opinions and differences without any venegeful feelings

Give up the sense of entitlement. Nothing belongs to me, wife, kids, house even my own body.

Witness myself in silence

joy comes from myself within, not from what I do, not from my job

Constantly ask , where is my breath?

Watch my brain playing movie
