About This Quote
Buddha said, “There are two types of seeds in the mind: those that create anger, fear, frustration, jealousy, hatred and those that create love, compassion, equanimity and joy.” The idea here is that we can choose to be angry or we can choose to be happy. We can choose to be jealous or we can choose to be loving. We can choose to be fearful or we can choose to be serene. It is a choice we make every day.
