By means of meditation, I feel that we have planted dynamite to transcend the world of confusion.

Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a polluted mind, suffering will follow you, as the wheels of the oxcart follow the footsteps of the ox. Everything is based on mind, is led by mind, is fashioned by mind. If you speak and act with a pure mind, happiness will follow you, as a shadow clings to a form.
Gautama Buddha

We should cast aside all childish games that fetter and exhaust body, speech and mind.

all conditioning and ambition resolved with finality.
