520 ^aIf we understand the nature of mind, the nature of mind isalways thinking but it is thinking in such non-systematical way. Thinking here. Thinking there. Jumpinglike a monkey. So many teachers compare the mind and callit the monkey-mind because the mind is uncontrolled. Whenwe have just caught a wild monkey, we have to tie it down.But this wild monkey, eventually, if we give it propertraining, will turn into a trained monkey.
|
520 ^aThe trained monkey can actually perform all kinds ofdances and dramas such as those we have in Thailand. Weactually have schools to teach the monkeys in the South.We train monkeys so that monkeys can work for us, so themonkey climbs the coconut tree and picks just right kindof coconut, using its legs to twist the coconut and throwit down for the owner to pick up below the tree.
|
520 ^aIf even a wild monkey can be trained so our monkey-mindcan also be trained. -- From back cover
