Buddhist Boot Camp by Timber Hawkeye





Just as we habitually hoard old birthday cards and souvenirs, bank statements and receipts, clothes, broken appliances and old magazines, we also hang on to pride, anger, outdated opinions and fears.




Dig deep to find the root of your fear.  Only then will you be able to finally let go of it so that fear no longer limits your possibilities.




Your mind is like a spoiled rich kid! You have raised it to think whatever it wants, wherever it wants to and for however long, with no regard for consequences or gratitude.




First things first: stop granting yourself everything you crave.




May we all close the gap between what we believe and how we act in the world. 




Focus on the teachings, not the teacher.




Spiritual practice doesn't make your life longer; it makes it deeper.




Disagreements aren't conflicts unless pride and ego get involved.




Tolerance does Not mean accepting what is harmful.




Scan your mind for viruses called fears, anxieties, judgments, doubts, hatred and despair.




A nine-to-five job is not the only way to spell success.




You never make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it's no longer a mistake; it's a choice.
