dharma China

To solve our thirst, simply looking at water or listening to the sound of a river is not the solution. If we want to satisfy our thirst, we must drink the water.
In the same way, if we want to control our negative thoughts, just seeing a guru or listening to his teachings is not enough. We must apply those teachings to our own mind as a solution to control our negative thoughts.
