2) “There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt
separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and
breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it
is a sword that kills.”

founded on our thoughts and made up of our thoughts. If a man speak or
act with an evil thought, suffering follows him as the wheel follows the
hoof of the beast that draws the wagon…. If a man speak or act with a
good thought, happiness follows him like a shadow that never leaves
him.”

Sayings Of Buddha
not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your
religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of
your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have
been handed down for many generations. But after observation and
analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is
conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and
live up to it.”

scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by
agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought,
‘This contemplative is our teacher.’ When you know for yourselves that,
‘These qualities are skillful; these qualities are blameless; these
qualities are praised by the wise; these qualities, when adopted &
carried out, lead to welfare & to happiness’ — then you should enter
& remain in them.

than the man who would conquer
a thousand-thousand men,
is he who would conquer
just one —

nor a Mara banded with Brahmas,
could turn that triumph
back into defeat.”

Gautama Buddha
Long life is welcome, agreeable, pleasant, & hard to obtain in the world.
Beauty is welcome, agreeable, pleasant, & hard to obtain in the world.
Happiness is welcome, agreeable, pleasant, & hard to obtain in the world.
Status is welcome, agreeable, pleasant, & hard to obtain in the world.
…Now,
I tell you, these… things are not to be obtained by reason of prayers
or wishes. If they were to be obtained by reason of prayers or wishes,
who here would lack them? It’s not fitting for the disciple of the noble
ones who desires long life to pray for it or to delight in doing so.
Instead, the disciple of the noble ones who desires long life should
follow the path of practice leading to long life. In so doing, he will
attain long life…
[Ittha Sutta, AN 5.43]”

who take weapons to overcome others who bear arms. This does not end
hatred, but gives it room to grow. But, ancient wisdom has advocated a
different timeless strategy to overcome hatred. This eternal wisdom is
to meet hatred with non-hatred. The method of trying to conquer hatred
through hatred never succeeds in overcoming hatred. But, the method of
overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective. That is why
that method is described as eternal wisdom. ”

wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him
from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another
tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him.

mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the
vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine
with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it
tasted! ”

perplexity, for a doubt has arisen in a matter which is doubtful. Now,
look you Kālāmas, do not be led by reports, or traditions, or hearsay.
Be not led by the authority of religious texts, not by the delight in

certain things are unwholesome, and wrong, and bad, then give them up…
And when you know for yourself that certain things are wholesome and
good, then accept them and follow them.”

“Subhuti, someone might fill innumerable worlds with the seven
treasures and give all away in gifts of alms, but if any good man or any
good woman awakens the thought of Enlightenment and takes even only
four lines from this Discourse, reciting, using, receiving, retaining
and spreading them abroad and explaining them for the benefit of others,
it will be far more meritorious. Now in what manner may he explain them
to others? By detachment from appearances-abiding in Real Truth. -So I
tell you-
Thus shall you think of all this fleeting world:
A star at dawn, a bubble in a stream;
A flash of lightening in a summer cloud,
A flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream.
When
Buddha finished this Discourse the venerable Subhuti, together with the
bhikshus, bhikshunis, lay-brothers and sisters, and the whole realms of
Gods, Men and Titans, were filled with joy by His teaching, and, taking
it sincerely to heart they went their ways.”

stanzas, expositions, verses, exclamations, sayings, birth stories,
marvels, and answers to questions–but having learned the Dhamma, they do
not examine the meaning of those teachings with wisdom. Not examining
the meaning of those teachings with wisdom, they do not gain a
reflective acceptance of them. Instead they learn the Dhamma only for
the sake of criticising others and for winning in debates, and they do
not experience the good for the sake of which they learned the Dhamma.”

“THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTHS
I. Suffering does exist.
II. Suffering arises from “attachment” to desires.
III. Suffering ceases when “attachment” to desire ceases.
IV. Freedom from suffering is possible by practicing the eightfold path:
1. Right understanding (view).
2. Right intention (thought).
3. Right speach.
4. Right action.
5. Right livelihood.
6. Right effort.
7. Right mindfulness.
8. Rght meditation (concentration).
Buddha’s fourfold consolation:
With
a mind free from greed and unfriendliness, incorruptible, and purified,
the noble disciple is already during this lifetime assure of a fourfold
consolation:
“If there is another world (heaven), and a cause
and effect (Karma) of good and bad actions, then it may be that, at the
dissolution of the body, after death, I shall be reborn in a happy
realm, a heavenly world.” Of this first consolation (s)he is assured.
“And
if there is no other world, no reward and no punishment of good and bad
actions, then I live at least here, in this world, an untroubled and
happy life, free from hate and unfriendliness.” Of this second
consolation (s)he is assured.
“And if bad things happen to bad
people, but I do not do anything bad (or have unfriendliness against
anyone), how can I, who am doing no bad things, meet with bad things?”
Of this third consolation (s)he is assured.
“And if no bad things happen to bad people, then I know myself in both ways pure.” Of this fourth consolation (s)he is assured.”

Gautama Buddha
“Not merely by rules of conduct and religious observances, nor by
much learning either, nor even by attainment of concentration, nor by
sleeping alone, do I reach the happiness of freedom, to which no
worldlings attain. If you have not put an end to compulsions, nurse your
faith”

Buddhist Scriptures
“I consider the positions of kings and rulers as that of dust motes. I observe treasure of gold and gems as so many bricks
and pebbles. I look upon the finest silken robes as tattered rags. I see myriad worlds of the universe as small seeds of
fruit, and the greatest lake in India as a drop of oil on my foot. I perceive the teachings of the world to be the illusion of,
magicians. I discern the highest conception of emancipation as golden brocade in a dream, and view the holy path of the
illuminated one as flowers appearing in one’s eyes. I see meditation as a pillar of a mountain, Nirvana as a nightmare of
daytime. I look upon the judgment of right and wrong as the serpentine dance of a dragon, and the rise and fall of beliefs
as but traces left by the four seasons.”

“So too, friend, purification of virtue is for the sake of
reaching purification of mind; purification of mind is for the sake of
reaching purification of view; purification of view is for the sake of
reaching purification by overcoming doubt; purification by overcoming
doubt is for the sake of reaching purification by knowledge and vision
of what is the path and what is not the path; purification by knowledge
and vision of what is the path and what is not the path is for the sake
of reaching purification by knowledge and vision of the way;
purification by knowledge and vision of the way is for the sake of
reaching purification by knowledge and vision; purification by knowledge
and vision is for the sake of reaching final Nibbāna [Nirvana] without
clinging. It is for the sake of final Nibbāna without clinging that the
holy life is lived under the Blessed One.”

“Monks, even if bandits were to savagely sever you, limb by limb,
with a double-handled saw, even then, whoever of you harbors ill will at
heart would not be upholding my Teaching. Monks, even in such a
situation you should train yourselves thus: ‘Neither shall our minds be
affected by this, nor for this matter shall we give vent to evil words,
but we shall remain full of concern and pity, with a mind of love, and
we shall not give in to hatred. On the contrary, we shall live
projecting thoughts of universal love to those very persons, making them
as well as the whole world the object of our thoughts of universal love
— thoughts that have grown great, exalted and measureless. We shall
dwell radiating these thoughts which are void of hostility and ill
will.’ It is in this way, monks, that you should train yourselves.”

“Suppose a man threw into the sea a yoke with one hole in it, and
the east wind carried it to the west, and the west wind carried it to
the east, and the north wind carried it to the south, and the south wind
carried it to the north. Suppose there were a blind turtle that came up
once at the end of each century. What do you think, bhikkhus? Would
that blind turtle put his neck into that yoke with one hole in it?”
“He might, venerable sir, sometime or other at the end of a long period.”
“Bhikkhus,
the blind turtle would sooner put his neck into that yoke with a single
hole in it than a fool, once gone to perdition, would take to regain
the human state, I say. Why is that? Because there is no practising of
the Dhamma there, no practising of what is righteous, no doing of what
is wholesome, no performance of merit. There mutual devouring prevails,
and the slaughter of the weak.”

“Nė viena pasaka nepatikėkit,
Nors šimtmečius ilgus
Daugybė kraštų jas laikė tikrove.
Netikėkit ir tuo, ką
Kiti žmonės be perstojo kalba,
Nors išminčiaus žodžius jie kartotų
Ar pasiremtų raštais šventais.
Netikėkite niekuo,
Sapnuose ką regėjot, ką vaizduotė sukūrė,
Nors manot, kad siunčia tuos vaizdinius
Dievas.
Nepriimkite žodžių už tiesą,
Nors kažkas juos pridengtų šventuolio ar
Meistro vardu.
Patikėkit tik tuo, ko karti patirtis
Ilgai Jus pačius per išbandymus mokė,
Kas nekliudo gerovės nei Jums, nei kitiems.”

“És Brahmá, a Teremtő, felső ruháját fél vállán átvetve, összetett
kézzel meghajolt a Magasztos felé, és így szólította meg a Magasztost:
-
Uraim, a Magasztosnak hirdetnie kell a Tant! A Megvilágosultnak
hirdetnie kell a Tant! Vannak lények, akiknek lelki szemeit alig fedi
por, de ha nem hallják a Tant, akkor nem érik el a megváltást. Ezek meg
fogják érteni a Tant.
Így beszélt Brahmá, a Teremtő, majd így folytatta:
Magadha földjén ezelőtt a tiszta Tant
gyarló személyek tanították tévesen.
Halhatatlanság kapuját te tárd ki most!
Hallják világosan a tiszta, szent igét!
Ki hegytetőre, fel a sziklabércre jut,
fentről körülnéz az alanti tájakon.
Te mindent-látó, te is így tekints alá
az igazság várfokáról a szenvedő,
szakadatlanul születő-kiszenvedő
lényekre, mert te legyőzted a szenvedést.
Kelj fel, te nagy csata vitézi győztese!
Járd a világot, seregek vezére!
Tanítsd a Tant, magasztos Szent!
Lesznek, akik megértenek.”

“Szerzetesek, vannak tanulatlan, közönséges emberek, akik nem
gondolnak a nemes dolgokkal, nem hallottak a nemes tanról, járatlanok a
nemes tanban; nem gondolnak az igaz emberekkel, nem hallottak az igaz
emberek viselkedéséről, járatlanok az igaz ember viselkedésében. Az
ilyenek nem ismerik fel a fontos tanokat, nem ismerik fel a fölösleges
tanokat. Mivel nem ismerik fel a fontos tanokat, és nem ismerik fel a
fölösleges tanokat, a fölösleges tanokkal foglalkoznak, és a fontos
tanokkal nem foglalkoznak.
Melyek azok a fölösleges tanok,
szerzetesek, amelyekkel foglalkoznak? Ha egy tannal való foglalkozás
következtében feltámad a még fel nem támadt örömvágy indulata, a már
feltámadt örömvágy indulata pedig erősödik, feltámad a még fel nem
támadt létezni vágyás indulata, a már feltámadt létezni vágyás indulata
pedig erősödik, feltámad a még fel nem támadt balgaság indulata, a már
feltámadt balgaság indulata pedig erősödik, az ilyen tan fölösleges, és

além do tempo, não se baseia em conceito algum, nem se submete a
qualquer seita; compreende todas as teorias correntes, mantendo-se,
porém, desapegado de qualquer delas. Liberto dos laços do mundo, embora
viva no mundo, segue o sábio, tranquilo,o seu caminho; livre de seitas,
em meio aos sectários, livre de agitações, em meio aos agitados,
admitindo o que o mundo comete (…) Liberto de todos os conceitos
baseados nas coisas vistas e ouvidas, aliviado, pois, de sua carga, não
mais está o sábio tranquilo sujeito ao tempo, transcendendo tanto o
desejo, quanto a abstinência.”

“Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are
cherished in the mind. Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of
resentment are forgotten.”

“Aquele que, ávido de desejos, colhe as flores das paixões é
surpreendido pela morte antes mesmo da saciedade. Que o sábio viva em
sua aldeia, assim como a abelha recolhe o néctar sem prejudicar a cor e o
perfume da flor.”

“Considera quem te aponta os defeitos como se te desvendasse
tesouros. Segue o sábio que te reprova os erros. Na verdade, estar em
tal companhia é um grande bem, e não um mal.”

-
Ez a tan mély, nehezen felfogható, nehezen érthető, nyugalmat adó,
magasrendű, ésszel fel nem érhető, titkos, csak bölcseknek szóló.
Számomra világos lett. Ám az emberek vágyaik rabjai, vágyaikon
csüggenek, vágyaikat élvezik. Ezért az emberek, akik vágyaik rabjai,
vágyaikon csüggenek, vágyaikat élvezik, nem fogják megérteni az okok és
okozatok láncolatának összefüggését, nem fogják megérteni a létcsírák
kioltását, az érzelmek elvetését, a létszomj elfojtását, a szenvedély
eltávoztatását, a nyugalmat, a nirvánát. Ha tehát hirdetni fogom a tant,
és a többi ember nem érti meg tanításomat, csak baj háramlik belőle
rám, fölösleges fáradság háramlik belőle rám.
És ekkor ez az addig nem hallott vers ötlött fel a Magasztos előtt:
Nehezen jöttem én is rá, másnak hiába mondanám.
A gonoszság, a gyűlölség elzárja más elől a Tant.
Ár ellen úszó, mély, titkos, alig látszó szikrányi fény;
a gonoszság sötétsége nem hagyja megpillantani.
Mikor a Magasztos mindezt végiggondolta, úgy döntött, hogy megmarad magányában, és nem fogja hirdetni a Tant.”

“Se un uomo viene colpito da una freccia avvelenata e non vuole
che gli sia tolta prima di sapere chi l’abbia lanciata, a quale casta
appartenga, quale sia il suo nome, quale sia la sua famiglia, quale sia
la sua statura, quale sia la sua carnagione, da quale paese provenga, il
tipo di arco che usa, il tipo di corda, il tipo di freccia, il tipo di
penne, il tipo di punta, ecc., costui morirà prima di conoscere tutte
queste cose.”

“Si quieres conocer la verdad de la vida y la muerte, debes
reflexionar continuamente sobre esto: en el universo solo hay una ley
que no cambia nunca, la de que todas las cosas cambian y ninguna cosa es
permanente.”

“The Sage
A person of wisdom should be truthful, without arrogance, without deceit, not slanderous and
not hateful. The wise person should go beyond the evil of greed and miserliness.
To have your mind set on calmness, you must take power over sleepiness, drowsiness and
lethargy. There is no place for laziness and no recourse to pride.
Do not be led into lying, do not be attached to forms. You must see through all pride and fare
along without violence.
Do not get excited by what is old, do not be contented with what is new. Do not grieve for
what is lost or be controlled by desire.”

“لا تستهون شأن الشر.
تقول: الشر بعيد، لن يقربني.
حتى الجرّة تصبح ملأى بالماء من القطرات.
الأحمق سوف يُرى ممتلئاً بالشر، حتى لو جاء إليه قليلا فقليلا.”
