The Karma of Thought

DateSeptember 21, 2007

What we are is the result of what we have thought,
is built by our thoughts,
is made up of our thoughts.
If one speaks or acts with an impure thought,
suffering follows one,
like the wheel of the cart
follows the foot of the ox.

What we are is the result of what we have thought,
is built by our thoughts,
is made up of our thoughts.
If one speaks or acts with a pure thought,
happiness follows one,
like a shadow that never leaves.

~ The Buddha
