Buddhist Wisdom

 

 

Unaffected

    The ocean cannot be burned by fire. A great mountain is not shaken by the wind. Rock cannot be melted by water. So also the morally pure person will not be affected by the misdeeds of an evil-minded person.

Under A False Pretext

    If you commit a sin under the pretext that it is a traditional practice, it is still a sin.

Under Attack

    Our body is a target which is constantly being hit by birth, old age, disease, and death.

Upper Classes

    If one looks from the upper class, one can see the lower class; if, on the other hand, one looks up from below one cannot possibly see the upper area.

Useless Work

    You cannot gain any benefit from doing useless work.

Value Your Life

    People don’t value their lives highly enough, so they speak, act, and live heedlessly. That is why they have to lead ordinary lives.
