The reflections of the mind

Like the ocean has its waves and the sun has its rays,

the mind has its repercussions:

are the thoughts and emotions.



The ocean has its waves,

but not particularly disturbed.



The waves, in fact, are the very nature of the ocean.



The waves continue to rise,

but WHERE do they go?



Back into the ocean.

And where do they come from?

Also from the ocean!




Likewise, the thoughts and emotions

are the brightness and the expression

the nature of the mind.




They arise from the mind,

but where they end up when they dissolve?



Again in the mind!


Whatever arises,

not see it as a particular problem.



If you do not react impulsively,

if you remain patient simply,

return to dissolve again

in its essential nature.




When you have this understanding,

the appearance of thoughts only reinforces your practice.




But when you do not understand

What are intrinsically thoughts

(Ie, the visible manifestation of the nature of the mind)

then they become confusing.




So cultivate an attitude spacious,

open and compassionate

to your thoughts and emotions because,

in fact, thoughts are like your family,

the family of your mind.




In front of them

"Be like a wise old man,
watching your children play. "
