Pure Inspiration

Ven. Pannipitiye Upasama and Nimal Sonnadara – 124
After the mind is firmly established on the Buddha, Dhamma and
Saṅgha, there is nothing to fear about the future.
Don’t forget your highest duty towards yourself, your relatives
and ultimately towards the whole world, is to attain Nibbāna.
The highest wholesome kamma is to look after one’s own mind
and to purify it. Highest happiness cannot be found in the
saṅkhāra world. For the highest happiness, you have to go out of
the saṅkhāra world by directing your mind to Nibbāna.
The most important thing is to direct the mind to the higher state,
Nibbāna, and other things will follow automatically, as stated by
Buddha, mano pubbaṅgammā dhammā (Dhammapada verses 1 &
2).
What has to be realized, has been realized. What has to practiced,
has been practiced. So no worries…
Always slowly, carefully, mindfully, before doing it, while doing
it, having done it, always make sure of the purity of actions
(following Lord Buddha’s advice). This moment is the condition
for the next moment. The future is conditioned by the way you
practice at present.
Never be satisfied, never be dissatisfied, always direct the mind
towards Nibbāna. So called ‘death’ is just a certain procedure in
the world of saṅkhāras (mental formations), it has no meaning at
all, starting the same thing again, being born, old age, sickness
and death. What a bliss to know the Dhamma that ends all
suffering once and for all.
