CloudHands Posted July 26, 2018 I'm interested in mantras, or simply sayings, you think useful in you life. I'll start with some unusual ones Fluctuat nec mergitur can be translated as "tossed by the waves but doesn’t sink" Hate toi lentement "Make haste slowly" That one, my carpentry teacher had put it in a wall. Chi va piano, va sano e va lontano Chi va forte va incontro alla morte 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloudHands Posted July 27, 2018 3 hours ago, Earl Grey said: Sounds more like you are looking for maxims rather than mantras, because the mantras I practice are Sanskrit and Tibetan, and are used for esoteric purposes as opposed to aphorisms. Short sentences expressing a powerful idea, esoteric or not, that help you to connect to the spirit you're looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheshire Cat Posted July 27, 2018 I used to repeat to myself short sentences from time to time or especially when I felt the kind of dukkha that burdens the mind. "You have no desire" "Get rid of desire" "detachment" And similar things... But I don't recommend them unless you want to turn your life into real shit. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CloudHands Posted July 27, 2018 Let's make it simple... You have got a mantra or a saying that accompany you for years, you want to share it, you share it and that's it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
