Mind Training Commitments, Workout Number 2 and Urban Outfitters

Hello hello! It's my lazy Sunday... I did bike to the gym though, Having said that, note to self, when it looks like it might rain, it might rain! The bike ride home from the gym SUCKED! Pouring rain. Oh well! Not the end of the world.

Here's another page from  "In My Own Words- An Introduction to My Teachings and Philosophy." - His Holiness The Dalai Lama

"The Commitments of Mind Training- Always train in the three general points. Engage vigorously in forceful means to cultivate equalities and abandon disturbing emotions. Subjugate all reasons (for selfishness). Train consistently to deal with difficult situations. Don't rely on other conditions. Transform your attitude, but maintain your natural behaviour. Don't speak of others' faults, Don't concern yourself with others' business. Give up every hope of reward. Avoid poisonous food. Don't maintain misplaced loyalty. Don't make malicious banter. Don't lie in ambush. Don't strike at the heart. Don't place the load of a horse on a pony. Don't sprint to win the race. Don't turn gods into devils. Don't seek others' misery as a means to happiness.
