A man who is averse to harming even the wind knows the sorrow of all living things.
The way to overcome the angry man is with gentleness, the evil man with goodness, the miser with generosity and the liar with truth.
A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but it is the abode of the soul which potentially has perfect perception, perfect knowledge, perfect power, and perfect bliss…Have compassion towards all living beings. Hatred leads to destruction. Respect for all living beings is non-violence…
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
How much suffering and fear, and how many harmful things are in existence? If all arises from clinging to the “I”, what should I do with this great demon?
