Our intentions – noticed or unnoticed, gross or subtle – contribute either to our suffering or to our happiness
Intentions are sometimes called seeds.
The garden you grow depends on the seeds you plant and water. Long after a deed is done, the trace or momentum of the intention behind it remains as a seed, conditioning our future happiness or unhappiness.
– Gil Fronsdal, Vipassana Teacher.
