A Zen Jewdhist Meditation on a Chabad Rebbe Teaching

"You must always have good things to think about. An empty mind is a vacuum awaiting destructive thoughts."  -from Bringing Heaven Down to Earth: Meditations and Everyday Wisdom from the Teachings of the Rebbe, Menachem Schneerson

Thoughts are neither good nor destructive, it's what we do with our thoughts that creates holiness or defilement. Empty mind serves as a petrie dish on which we may grow and study our thoughts and emotional responses.
