Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there in 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 in no attachment.
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
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.
Compassion: I don’t think that there is another world as important in marking a person’s inner growth. No other word completely conveys what this single word conveys.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
Yesterday I was clever that is why I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise that is why I am changing myself.
Change your thoughts, and you change your world.
Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
The entire world may not change. But your tiny world you can and will change forever at this very moment with the help of your confidence-heart. Yours will be the unparalleled victory.
