A Quote by Ajahn Chah

The mind is intrinsically tranquil. Out of this tranquility, anxiety and confusion are born. If one sees and knows this confusion, then the mind is tranquil once more. — © Ajahn Chah
The mind is intrinsically tranquil. Out of this tranquility, anxiety and confusion are born. If one sees and knows this confusion, then the mind is tranquil once more.
Trust Christ! and a great benediction of tranquil repose comes down upon the calm mind and the tranquil heart.
Confusion has become a state of mind, more of less; we're trained to be confused. Quite simply, the people in power are keeping us down, keeping us docile and keeping us consuming with this confusion. It's a cultural confusion and it is deliberate.
While conscience is our friend, all is at peace; however once it is offended, farewell to a tranquil mind.
There is no confusion like the confusion of a simple mind.
By a tranquil mind I mean nothing else than a mind well ordered.
Life is full of confusion. Confusion of love, passion, and romance. Confusion of family and friends. Confusion with life itself. What path we take, what turns we make. How we roll our dice.
Whatever begins to be tranquil is gobbled up by something not tranquil.
My mind is tranquil. I allow peace into my life
Without trust, there can be no tranquil resting of the mind.
We have misunderstood our confusion when we think there is an answer to it. The confusion is not a result of questions that are too hard, but rather a questioner who is disintegrating. Confusion is the introduction to true intelligence.
Devote the mind to confusion and we know only too well, if we´re honest, that it will become a dark master of confusion, adept in its addictions, subtle and perversely supple in its slaveries. Devote it in meditation to the task of freeing itself from illusion, and we will find that, with time, patience, discipline, and the right training, our mind will begin to unknot itself and know its essential bliss and clarity.
I also talk a lot in Deeper Reading about the importance that confusion plays. When my students come to me, they think confusion is bad. They are wrong. Confusion is the place where learning occurs.
For this game you need, above all things, to be in a tranquil frame of mind.
After a session of yoga, the mind becomes tranquil and passive.
A mind that is characterized by unrest will not be tranquil even in the presence of great calm.
When even one virtue becomes our nature, the mind becomes clean and tranquil. Then there is no need to practice meditation; we will automatically be meditating always. (151)
