Text

56. “Bhikkhus, whatever you are to witness in life, all those phenomena that are damaging, harmful, evil and unwholesome, they all stem from and are led by none other than the mind.

“Therefore, mind with its very intentions is their chief, dictating whatever is to come next, trailing right behind and following it, obediently.”
