Mind precedes all

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The Dhammapada starts with: “Mind precedes all. Mind is the chief.” We can talk about this forever. So many philosophical schools of the world have talked about the mind as the chief.

We can start out very easily by saying: If you do something, it is because your mind has decided beforehand that you would do that thing. And when you “lose your mind”, you do stupid things that you would regret later. Continue reading Mind precedes all

In northern Vietnam, old people risk their lives to pick up small notes drivers toss out on a highway to honor the dead.

It’s around noon and Hoang Van Dang sits quietly in a shabby hut on a national highway, his eyes glued to the street.

Then, suddenly, he plunges into the highway before returning with three VND500 and VND2,000 (8.6 cents) currency notes in his palm. The 76-year-old man in a pair of worn-out flip-flops is quick and agile.

Within 10 minutes he runs out to pick up bills five times.

These are not the words of a Greenpeace activist or left-wing politician, but of Jim Barry, the global head of the infrastructure investment group at Blackrock — the world’s largest asset manager. Barry made this statement in 2017, but the writinghas been on the wall for longer than that.
