Pure Mountain Tao

When we are able to get our mind under our control, that is the time when we can use the mind like a backhoe to dig down and explore those subtle components that comprise our actions. Of course, these actions are what creates our karma, so you can see how important this is. Reaching this state is not the final goal. Instead, it is clear evidence of having the skill to tame the mind. When we can do that, we can use the mind like a valuable tool, exploring the darkest caves of our mind, now equipped with a powerful lantern.
