As you continue your work this summer I'll try to provide a hint or two to help you with your practice. Here's today's hint. It is the very first line of the very first chapter of the Dhammapada, the best introductory collection of the Buddha's teachings (everyone should have a copy):
Our life is shaped by our mind: we become what we think.
I urge everyone, if they can, to get a copy of the Dhammapada, particularly the translation with commentary by Eknath Easwaran. If you do, then take some time to read the Introduction and the first chapter, "Twin Verses & Vigilance".
