ANGUTTARA-NIKĀYA iv.356

363.

Treat your anger with the utmost respect and tenderness, for it is no other than yourself. Do not suppress it—simply be aware of it. Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed. When you are aware that you are angry, your anger is transformed. If you destroy anger, you destroy the Buddha, for Buddha and Māra are of the same essence. Mindfully dealing with anger is like taking the hand of a little brother.

THICH NHAT HANH; QUOTED IN MIND OF CLOVER

364.

When you behold the void nature of Mind,

Analyze it not as one or many

Lest you fall into the void-of-annihilation!

Son, rest yourself without wandering thoughts.

HUNDRED THOUSAND SONGS OF MILAREPA

365.

In Seattle someone had asked [Ahjahn Chah] to describe how he prepared his mind for meditation, and he said, “I just keep it where it always is.”
