Food for Thought #52

~ By Buddhadāsa Bhikkhu ~

According to Buddhism, we overcome the power of the senses by abstaining from evil and performing good deeds instead. After this, we try to find a way to purity the mind and keep it free from the root causes of depression, revealing the easily and not - so - easily seen - including all bad habits that serve as a catalyst in the incessant formation of bad habits.
