Blogging is rewarding in the short term and long term. Here I raise a toast to myself after completing 350 posts in my blog. The audience is spread across geographies like the US, India and Ireland. This is my landmark on the world internet map !!! 😃😃😃

Kapichitta (monkey-mind) from Chinese xinyuan and Sino-Japanese shin'en  心猿   [lit. "heart-/mind-monkey"] is a psychological state described by the Buddha. 🙏🙏 It involves lack of focus and low attention spans. The origin of this terms is related to the behavior of monkeys that swing from branch to branch in order to find fruit to satiate their hunger. They are in a state of constant movement. I personally consider it the equivalent of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Through meditation one can control the monkey-mind. Possibly in today's Internet driven generation with tabbed browsers the symptom is having many tabs open simultaneously, trying to glean as much information as possible in the minimum possible time.
