They are the shadows of desire,''       he said.              "Yes, life will be difficult, not only in Korea, but also globally. People are       worried but we must not avoid the reality. We must       overcome things, and we must do this spiritually. The most important way is to       control our minds. We must be modest and stop       searching for luxury and wealth. If we have a clear mind, we can overcome       anything,''       Ven. Ji Kwan stressed.              from:       buddhistchannel.tv              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
