"All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with an corrupted mind, and suffering follows as the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.
All experience is preceded by mind, led by mind, made by mind. Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows like a never-departing shadow." --The Buddha
