The normal tendency of the unenlightened mind is constantly directed outwards into the external world. The Dhamma of the Buddha points us in the opposite direction, right back into the mind itself, right back to our conscious experience.It's not an easy task to work with the mind internally, and to fully purify and release it. But at least it's a possible task, it has been done by millions of human beings. On the other hand, trying to turn this external world here on earth into perfection would be mission impossible. Fortunately, as we are working on internal purification, we have a wholesome, beneficial influence on other beings as well. And as we're transforming our mind, the external environment will transform accordingly: We are reborn in a realm of existence that is equivalent to our internal qualities. If we have the heart of an angel, we will be reborn in a heavenly world ('Devaloka').www.dhammagiri.netwww.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJwwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive
