How Does One Quiet the Mind?

Selection from a Dharma Q&A session in UCLA (Nov. 16, 2014)

March 16, 2021

Q: Regarding the belief that thoughts become things and that our subconscious mind controls 95% of our actions, how does one go about cleansing our thoughts and really being able to take out the negative patterns that we may have in terms of our thought processes to essentially manifest positive outcomes? And second part of that question, as far as being able to quiet the mind, when it comes to society so much addicted to caffeine to wake up in the morning, pills to go sleep at night, how does one quiet the mind? Specific exercises? Be it mediation or reading to really get a good rest?

Wisdom For You

I want to be a good person

There are ways not to become a bad person but there aren’t clear standards to become a good person.

Don’t fence yourself in with the idea of being a good person. Let go of your struggles to be seen as a good person.  Live your life freely and enjoy the comfort of being who you are.
