Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
-Dhammapada "Dhammapada 171"
Come behold this world, which is like unto an ornamented royal chariot, wherein fools flounder, but for the wise there is no attachment.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
The world will be balanced when we are balanced.
Compassion: I don’t think that there is another world as important in marking a person’s inner growth. No other word completely conveys what this single word conveys.
We live in a wonderful world that is full of beauty, charm and adventure. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open.
Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
