The Nechung Oracle Program Thought for the Moment...

Take Refuge in the Buddha

    We live in an ocean of cyclic existence whose depth and extent cannot be
measured.  We are troubled again and again by the afflictions of desire and
hatred as if repeatedly attacked by sharks.
    Our mental and physical aggregates are impelled by former contaminated
actions and afflictions and serve as a basis for present suffering as well as
inducing future suffering.  While such cyclic existence lasts, we have various
thoughts of pleasure and displeasure: "If I do this, what will people think?
If I do not do this, I will be too late; I won't make any profit."  When we
see something pleasant we think, "Oh, if I could only have that!"  We see
that others are prosperous, and we generate jealousy, unable to bear their
prosperity.  We see an attractive man or woman, and we want a relationship.
We are not satisfied with a passing relationship but want it to last forever.
And then, once staying together with that person, we desire someone else.
When we see someone we do not like, we become angry and quarrel after a single
word; we feel we cannot remain even for an hour near this hated person but
must leave immediately.  Day and night, night and day we spend our lives in
the company of the afflictions, generating desire for the pleasant and anger
at the unpleasant, and continue thus even when dreaming, unable to remain
relaxed, our minds completely and utterly mixed with thoughts of desire and
hatred without interruption.
    Only a Buddha has extinguished all defects and gained all attainments.
Therefore, one should mentally go for refuge to a Buddha, praise him or her
with speech, and respect him or her physically.  One should enter the teaching
of such a being.

     of the Secret Mantra, Volume I: Tantra in Tibet by Tsongkhapa, published
     by Shambhala Publications
