I like this post what was the other monks response to carrying his negative thoughts ?
See the thing about life is its meant to be lived, its a learning process therefore not rigid and fixed. Sometimes you get it right first go. Others it takes a few attempts.
The key is Incremental Betterment and the refinement it brings. Part of that is being discerning in what you choose to give your attention to because its very easy to become consumed by thoughts designed to take you off your purpose due to the energy leaking toward hatred instead of something worthwhile.
Like the other monk who was so caught up on wanting it to be one way he didn't notice where he himself was slipping. The false self is a slippery bish and yet it has most of the world in its grip. Total domination requires full concentration in all situations. Foundation.
Know Thyself...
