| | | Death is Natural Defeatism People do not strive hard to overcome setbacks, but tend to accept them with a defeatist attitude.
Die With CourageHowever great one may be, it is not good to shed tears on one’s deathbed.
Do Charity on Your BirthdayIf you want to do some meritorious deed for your birthday you should
be doing it always, for you are born and you die in every moment.
Do Good to be GoodIf you do good, you will be good. That is natural. If you want to be attractive, do your work well.
Loving others is the same as loving yourself.
Do Good to Those Who Hate YouOne cannot travel through samsāra alone. One needs others to help one make progress.
Our Buddha had the villainous Devadatta who formerly murdered the Bodhisatta when he was the hermit Khantivādī, and again when he was Prince Dhammapāla. It would be good to have good associates. You must do no harm to those around you. If they ill-treat you, it is for you to treat them well.
Do Meritorious Deeds If you are forgetful of doing meritorious deeds, you will be the same as an animal.
Do-It-Yourself If you can help yourself, do not give trouble to others causing them to make bad kamma.
Doing Your Own ThingDon’t Criticise What You Don’t Understand
People who cannot grasp the meaning of what a person is doing often say that he is doing the wrong thing.
