Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
If you want to leave the world better than you found it, then use your heart of compassion and your life of concern.
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
If we cannot envision the world we would like to live in, we cannot work towards its creation. If we cannot place ourselves in it in our imagination, we will not believe it is possible.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
