What we are today,

comes from our thoughts of yesterday.

Our thoughts of today,

build our life of tomorrow

Our life is the creation of our mind.

If we speak or act with an impure mind, a grasping mind,

then sorrow follows,

like the wheel of the cart follows the ox that draws it.

If we speak or act with a pure mind, a non-grasping mind,

then joy follows,

like our own shadow.
