Buddha Quote
Friday September 25, 2026
TendenciesWe are all nothing but a bunch of shifting tendencies. Tendencies
are shaped by the force of habit. None of us have to definitely
have a certain thing (or do a certain thing) even though we might
feel the urge to do so to be strong. Our tendencies are often our
desires without Wisdom or evaluation. Not following may leave us
hollow in a certain sense. This feeling of hollowness is caused
by our attachment to that tendency as being part of our
illusionary self. The recognition of our tendencies lead us to
the dissolution of our false self. Not following our tendencies
blindly is spiritual cultivation. The next time you feel like
having or doing something, be it a neutral or ill thing, resist
for a while, and let your Wisdom evaluate its worth before
following it-Does the tendency lead towards Enlightenment or to
more suffering?
