The Bridge Library: Buddha — The Compass of the Mind (Entry 006)

"The mind is everything. What you think, you become." — Attributed to the Buddha, Dhammapada

The Bridge Library pairs history's clearest thinkers with the Bridge Method framework. This entry sits with the Buddha, and the discovery that reshaped his life: the mind is not just a mirror of circumstances, it's a compass that can be trained.

• The original historical context behind the quote
• A full Bridge Interpretation connecting it to the Bridge Method
• The Law of Direction — this entry's Bridge Law
