Let us constantly keep +watch over the wild elephant of the mind, curbing it with mindfulness and +vigilance. This is how to avoid being influenced by different external +conditions. But even in retreat in a very secluded place, if the mind is not +kept under control, it will wander all over the place. Even completely alone, +we can have an enormous amount of negative emotions. + +How are we to guard the mind? We should use attentiveness to watch our +thoughts and use mindfulness to judge whether we are acting correctly. With +these two we have the means to annihilate all adverse conditions. But without +them, we will not see whether our thoughts are positive or negative or whether +we are doing right or wrong, nor will we then be able to use antidotes as +necessary. + -- H.H. the Dalai Lama +
