It's so good that you see the value of keeping a "clear mind" (as you said). I've come to believe there is nothing more important than keeping a clear mind, and I try to do that by simply letting thoughts go as easily as they come. Thoughts, in a way, are like breezes. We should observe them (maybe enjoy some of them) as they pass by, but then just let them go.<br /><br />Thanks for your good comments, Ryan. You must be a very fine student.<br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Mr. Salsich, Sr.Hamilton Salsichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00236811434190427106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7795647157073865941.post-18526664133685818292011-01-25T18:39:35.932-08:002011-01-25T18:39:35.932-08:00Dear Mr. Salsich Sr.,
I love how you read fluen...Dear Mr. Salsich Sr.,<br /><br /> I love how you read fluently and clearly. I think the monk meant he was just carrying her in his thoughts. The story teaches you that when you have a bad thought in your mind, forget about it and never think of it again. I had this once happen to me. It was kind of the same thing that happened to him. I once bought a present for my friend. When he opened it, he said nothing and ran off and started playing. He never ever thanked me. I just thought and thought about it for about four weeks. I have to learn that the second you find a bad thought, you should wipe it away and have a clear mind. I felt very bad the time it got stuck to my mind, but it has never happened again sense. I like that book because it has an important message. Has that ever occurred to you? What do you think the message of this story is?<br /><br />From,<br />RyanRyannoreply@blogger.com
