The bad news first ... - Dhamma by Ajahn Jayasāro

The bad news first:

Our minds are full of defilements that cause

us suffering and prevent us from realizing true

happiness.

And now the good news:

There is no defilement in the human mind

that can withstand the power of the Dhamma

Having heard the news, do the work.

Practise the Dhamma.

Nobody else can do it for you.
