Guest guest Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 FUEL ON FIRE ? Not by anger is Hate ever quenched. Only by Kindness is Hate always quenched. This Ancient Law is an Eternal ... Truth ... ! Dhammapada 5 BLISS ! Oh let us live happily ! Freed from aversion, going even among those who hate. Among those in anger let us live free from all anger. Dhammapada 197 COOLED One should cool any anger, let go of any pride and leave behind any attachment (to views). The cooled one, not clinging neither to identity, body, form, view nor world never suffer any pain. Dhammapada 221 CONTROL Whoever do not loose his temper, even in a rage, like a car pressed in a high speed turn, him I call 'a Driver', others are merely holders of the wheel. Dhammapada 222 TOOLS One can only overcome anger with kindness. One can only conquer evil with good. One can only win the miser by giving gifts. One can only convince the liar with truth. Dhammapada 223 BLAME This, Atula, is an ancient saying, yet timeless & so relevant even today: They blame the silent one, They blame the one who says much, They blame the one who says little, No one in this world is not blamed. Dhammapada 227 FACT There never was, nor will there ever be, neither do there now exist one who is only praised or only blamed .... Dhammapada 228 One burns after insulting both the noble & the innocent... Readily one should repair this kamma by apology & by being thus granted forgiveness. Too bitter is else this fruit!!! : - ] Friendship is the GREATEST! The whole motivation of the Noble life! : - ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
