Mind causes Everything

Question:

 

What does this Buddha quote mean?

 "The mind is everything. What you think, you become." I love this quote in the way I interpret it, but what is its true meaning? Also, is it a real Buddha quote?




Answer:


The mind causes everything meaning everything is fictional.
Fiction is alterable. Therefore, what you think can change what you become.

Mano Pubbangama Dhamma
Mano Setta Manomaya
Manasace Pasannena/padutthena
Bhasativa Karotiva


Mind precedes ideas,
Mind causes mind.
If such a mind is clear / corrupt,
results in one's speech and act.


(Therefore, to change the speech and act as result, better change mind as cause = cause & effect)

 


Mano = mind
Pubbaṅgama = going at the head; preceding
Dhamma = idea (The mind deals with ideas as the eye deals with forms)
Seṭṭha = foremost; superiority; causes
Manomaya = mind made
Manasa ce = such a mind
ce = if
Pasanna = clear; purified
paduṭṭha = corrupt; offended
Bhasati= say, speak
karotiva = to do, to act, to perform



Note: all religions (god concepts) are ideas in mind and can put on paper meaning fictional.
Even God's words are fictional & when you read and/or remember it, it is fictional (a fictional story).
