Big-Buddha-Daibutsu-Kamakura-Japan

“The mind is everything. What you think you become.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think.

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
– Buddha, 500 B.C.

“Where we choose to put our attention changes our brain, which in time can change how we see and interact with the world.”
— Margaret Mead, cultural anthropologist
