Question

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.” -Buddha

Answer 1

when the buddha says "the mind is everything" he does not mean that the flower exits because of the mind. he means the mind exists because of the flower. without the mind there would still be a flower but without the flower the mind would have nothing to see. there would be no mind. we are what we think.

nor does he mean if we think we are a flower we will become a flower. he is saying that a flower is just a flower nothing else. if we see that flower for what it is we will express our own true nature. when we see everything as it is ,we are as we should be.

i aggree with what he is saying although if you see it at face value "the mind is everything" is obviously a bogus statement.

Answer 2

Absolutely. Every action begins with a thought, and those actions can become your direction in life.

Answer 3

disagree

Answer 4

i disagree

Answer 5

does that imply that without humans, the world, indeed the universe, is nothing?

Answer 6

I agree with this: You can be who ever u wanna be, you just musn't give up!

Answer 7

Judging by the statues and likenesses of Buddha, he should have added, "you are what you eat."

Answer 8

Not every minute of one's life counts the same, for one thing. Hours spent doing sheer drudgery or delaying gratification can cost relatively less in terms of "self-investment" than is gained back in the moments in which one finally, if only briefly, reaps the reward.

But a life willingly given over to back-breaking, intrinsically unrewarding, work out of devotion to things larger than oneself seems to have a certain dignity and nobility to it that is not easily matched by a life spent doing only work that naturally "fits" the self, as it were.

Answer 9

Disagree !  I can only partially agree with it, thus, I disagree!

Buddha mixed up with something.  We are what we thought only applies when our thought can shape ourselves totally.  When we're young or naive, we cannot shape ourselves with our own thought !

The mind is everything in some situation, but in all situation.

Every saying has a point of view, but should be view from that point of view and know its limitation...

Answer 10

i do tend to agree with that seeing that by thinking about things and making the choices based off of thought then we become what we think by using your minds.

Answer 11

no.

consider we admit there isn't any material in our existence. do you admit that emotions don't exist too?!

mind can't change because it become anything that should be.

Answer 12

Yes, I agree with this,

It Is our choices in Life that lead us to our fate.

The mind is Everything for the fortunate,

We use our minds in order to become what we wish to become.

Answer 13

Well, I would have to disagree with it. Humans think their an intelegent species, but when you look at it, we really arn't. We like to think we are something, but we usually arn't.

Answer 14

How we respect ourselves and the world humanity!

Answer 15

Rubbish! Where is buddha when we need buddha now for los angles earthquake now?
