All experience is preceded by mind | BUDDHA

Dhammapada Verses 1-2
Translator: Gil Fronsdal
Narrated by: Jack Kornfield

Verse 1:
All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a corrupted mind,
And suffering follows
As the wagon wheel follows the hoof of the ox.

Verse 2:
All experience is preceded by mind,
Led by mind,
Made by mind.
Speak or act with a peaceful mind,
And happiness follows
Like a never-departing shadow.
