Daily awareness.

One deluded thought-speech-act is enough to lose the clarity of awareness.

Here a story:

Once there was a practicioner who was feeding the pigeons outside with the rice he had offered on his altar, when he suddenly remembered the numerous enemies he had before devoting himself to the Dharma.

A thought came to him: "There are so many pigeons at my door now; if I had had that many soldiers then, I could easely have wiped out my enemies."

This idea obsessed him untill he could no longer control his hostility, and he left his hermitage, assembled a band of mercenaries and went to fight his former enemies.

The negative actions he then commited all began with that simple deluded thought.If we see an owner of passing thoughts - ideas; awareness is not present.

When we decide to not suffer, we should at least recognize there is no owner of thoughts and thoughts are not solid or to solidify at all.

They come and go like waves of the sea. Let them subside in vastness.
