			<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Dhammapada mentions that the mind is the foundation of all actions. This means that when our minds are calm and at peace, we can be patient, light, and resilient in the face of suffering. But what if our minds are sick? What if they are the foundation of all actions? When I experience OCD or BPD attacks, I can't use my mind to calm myself. My pain intensifies, and I become disoriented. And no amount of wisdom helps during these attacks. If I tell myself to let them go, that thought only triggers another OCD attack. Honestly, I don't know what to do.<br />
<br />
As Seiko said, I practice with the body and mind I have at my disposal. I hope one day I can develop the resilience and mindset to alleviate my pain. Take care of yourselves!<br />
