Don’t be in a hurry to get rid of your defilements. You should first patiently get to know suffering and its causes well, so that you
can then abandon them completely, just as it’s much better for your digestion if you chew your food slowly and thoroughly.
~Ajahn Chah

Phra Nuntiyophranuntiyo
2023-07-15

Defilements are not in the object,
Nor within the faculties,
nor somewhere in between.

And if not elsewhere, where is their abode,
Whence they inflict their havoc on the world?

They are simple mirages, and so take heart!
Banish all your fear and strive to know their nature.
Why suffer needlessly the pains of hell?
~ Shantideva

Thanka of Santideva -  (7th century)
