Question asked by Shum
dear Pastors,
I would like to stop the cycle of bad thoughts, bad feelings, anger from unfulfillment, fear, feeling of desperation. I really like to have stability in the mind so that I could focus on learning and improving my skills/career. Yet the triggers are so strong that I kept on falling into the cycle again and again.
I tried reading books but it does not help when the situation arises. Please advise.
regards
Besides reading, contemplation is very important to change the way our mind is so habituated to think. What is important also is to engage in dharma work and activities. If we don’t change what we do each day, then we will experience each day pretty much the same. Engaging in virtuous works will help purify and generate merits for our transformation. It is also a great way to distract the mind from non virtuos thoughts. Make new friendships, people who can encourage you in a positive way in thoughts and action.
