Advice from a Buddhist Nun

From the movie/documentary Amongst White Clouds:

“If you see a demon…  demons are your mind demons, it’s not just any demon.  You don’t want to grasp hold of it, don’t fear it, don’t hurt it… just sit and don’t move.  Something happens outside, you let go of it, examine yourself, meditate quietly… isn’t that how it is?”

I really liked the advice.  Hopefully I can implement it in my life,  to stop and meditate if something crosses my mind I don’t like.
