CREATE MENTAL SPACE

Generating the Great Wealth of Contentment

Training the mind with meditation requires a consistent practice. Using our everyday experiences is a skillful way to accomplish this consistency.

What we can then experience is a steady strengthening of patience that will deepen our ability to remain positive and confident.

"We should understand that although delusions are deeply ingrained, they are not an intrinsic part of our mind and so they can definitely be removed. Delusions are just bad mental habits, and like all habits they can be broken. With no delusions remaining in our mind, there is nothing that can disturb our inner peace and joy."
