We Become What We Worship | Dhammagiri | Dhamma Talk | Buddhist Reflections by Ajahn Dhammasiha
Description
When we respect and admire a person, like for example the Buddha, when we revere a certain quality, like wisdom or compassion, our mind will incline into that direction. We gradually condition ourselves to become similar to the person or quality that we respect and worship.
The choice is ours, in which direction we wish to develop:
- If we respect and admire celebrities, sport, pop and music stars, we will gradually incline to the qulities they represent
- If we worship the Triple Gem, our mind will incline towards generosity, virtue, mindfulness, loving kindness and wisdom
It does matter who's picture we put on our phone wallpaper, or on our walls at home.
Let us choose wisely.
