Seeds of kindness, seeds of unkindness.

Which ones will I nurture today? 

Deep within our store consciousness lie all the seeds of all our thoughts, speech, and actions incurred since time without beginning.

That’s a lot of seed!

There are seeds of kindness and seeds of treachery. Seeds of suffering and seeds of happiness. Some have grown large and strong, while others remain small and weak. While we cannot alter the fact that we have planted these seeds and carried them with us through innumerable lifetimes, we can choose which seeds to nurture and which to leave untouched.

If we choose to water the seeds of delusion and ignorance, our suffering will increase.

We’ve done and experienced this in too many lifetimes. As a result, we’re still here in samsara. Every moment gives us a chance to make conscious, purposeful choices. So be done with the seeds of callousness and disloyalty. Instead, tend and care for those wonderful seeds of awakening and wisdom, and thus be closer to happiness and liberation.
