Today I had, at a guess, maybe 1,000 thoughts crop up that would on almost any other day have led to guilt about past misdemeanours or misdeeds: severely painful dukkha. Today I kept my mindfulness quite well, I think, and so had a pretty good day. Every time such a thought popped up, I remembered Ajahn Chah's injunction to meditators: when any thought pops up, we respond with, "not my business". So many thoughts today were not my business that I might well have prevented the arising of entire multi-national corporations ... so to speak.
