Friends:

Mind is the Maker and the Creator!

The blessed Buddha once said:
Mind precedes & initiates all phenomena:
Mind is their chief, mind is their maker...
When one speaks or performs an action
with a mind, that is internally all pure,
then happiness & pleasure follows,
like a shadow that never departs...
                                       Dhammapada 1

Difficult to detect and very subtle,
mind can seize & take up any object,
so let any wise being guard the mind,
for a guarded mind brings happiness...
                                       Dhammapada 36

Neither mother, nor father, nor any other
family member can do greater good both
for oneself and for others as well, than
the well directed & controlled mind...
                                       Dhammapada 43

What is Mind?
Mind is an ever repeating cycle sequence of:
Contact1 => Feeling => Perception => Intention => Attention =>
New Contact2 =>  new Feeling2  => new Perception2 => etc.
Stilling this cycle produces Peace & Bliss!
This serene Tranquillity is called Nibbāna!
