DLMC - Wed 16 May 2007

Keeping some food to eat after meal: I shall never do this again, as it gives way for greed to arise. The taste of contenment is higher and more refined than that of any physical food. Moreover, greed is very coarse. The moment greed runs through my mind, I feel that I lose the gentleness and softness of the mind.

Strive on with mindfulness: This is the Buddha's last words. I shall keep this in mind - keep the breath in mind and be mindful at all times.

My meditation is not progressing at all. I am barely able to maintain it where it was when I was in BV. THis is mostly due to my inability to keep the breath in mind at all times. I keep other things in mind instead.
