Buddhist Wisdom

 

 

Earn People’s Reverence

    People love you if you are generous; they respect you if you are well-behaved; they revere you if you have wisdom.

Eat for Health

    The purpose of food and nutrition is good health.

Education

    Education is not only literature, but includes any art or craft by which to earn a living.

Enthusiasm

    You must practise the Dhamma enthusiastically. If you are listless, the practice will be boring. You cannot succeed unless you are enthusiastic and active.

Envy

    The stupid person envies the clever one; the inferior man is jealous of the man in a superior position. Such attitudes stem from malice.

Everyone Enjoys Life

    Every being enjoys his or her own existence.

Everyone Makes Mistakes

    Everyone is likely to make mistakes because of ignorance, so it’s better not to say too much.

Expect More Than One Existence

    One can probably look forward to the next day, but one cannot possibly look forward to all one’s existences in infinite samsāra.
