"Yes, wizards are good at getting you out of the sort of trouble that only wizards can get you into," said Creosote. "Then they expect you to thank them."

Buddha to his disciples, mini-series (19)
body and mind 
Since both body and mind are made up of cause and effect (skt. Nidana), this body has no substance. The body is a compilation of cause and effect, and is therefore impermanent. If the body had substance, you would be able to do as you wish, by thinking, " be like this, don't be like this," and doing as you wish.
The king, in his realm, can punish what is to be punished, award what is to be awarded, and do as he pleases. And yet he grows old when he does not want to, he gets sick when he does not want to, and not a single thing about himself is as he wishes.
Likewise, our mind has no substance. The mind is also a compilation of cause and effect, and is constantly changing. Our mind thinks evil even though it does not desire, it turns away from good even though it does not need to, and not a single thing is as it should be.

ブッダから弟子たちへ、ミニシリーズ (19)
身心 
身も心も因縁によって出来ているものであるから、この身には実体がない。この身は因縁の集まりであり、だから無常なものである。もしもこの身に実体があるならば、わが身は、かくあれ、かくあることなかれ、と思って、その思いのままになし得るはずである。
王はその領域において、罰すべきを罰し、賞すべきを賞し、自分の思い通りにすることができる。それなのに願わないのに老い、願わないのに病み、望まないのに老い、一つとしてわが身については思うようになるものはない。
それと同じく、われわれのこの心にも���た実体はない。心もまた因縁の集まりであり、常に移り変わるものである。もしも心に実体があるならば、かくあれ、かくあることなかれ、と思って、その通りにできるはずであるのに、心は欲しないのに悪を思い、願わないのに善から遠ざかり、一つとして自分の思うようはならない。
ブッダ (中部、巴:マッジマ・ニカーヤ 4・35)

Quote
Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.

People get exactly the wrong idea about belief. They think it works back to front. They think the sequence is, first object, then belief. In fact, it works the other way.
Belief sloshes around in the firmament like lumps of clay spiraling in a potter's wheel. That's how gods get created, for example. They clearly must be created by their own believers, because a brief resume of the lives of most gods suggests that their origins certainly couldn't be divine. They tend to do exactly the things people would do if only they could, especially when it comes to nymphs, golden showers, and the smiting of your enemies.
Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man

Hi, I just wanted to share some success stories since im really proud of myself and wanted to inspire people (I hope this is okay?)
Since turning 18 I’ve wanted a credit card to build my credit score, help my finances etc etc. But every card I applied for even the “credit builder” ones rejected me and I was getting really frustrated. Last week I saw a mutals Instagram story talking mentioning a credit card and in that moment I decided the next credit card I apply for will accept me: so I applied to a card I wanted and was accepted the same day with a better credit limit than I wanted and it arrived today :)
My second story is height increase. My “goal” height has always been 5”10 and for the last few months I’ve been 5”7 and frustrated. But once I let go and accepted I was 5’10 I literally grew overnight. This morning when I bumped into my mum she even asked if I had grown taller and when we measured me I am now 5’10
That’s all I wanted to share and I really enjoyed your visual threads on Twitter they’re really helping me understand Neville’s stories :) <3
SUCCESS STORY
- credit card
- height
I am so proud of you, and thank you so much for sharing this story with me, with us.
This is truly inspirational
Also, thank you for loving my content, I am very happy to read your message 🌙🖤
