Quote, unquote ...


Just as a mum cares for her only child all her life, radiates kindness through the world with boundless heart, unconfined without anger or adversary.

          Metta Sutta (the Buddha's words on loving kindness) 

Detail from the Life of the Buddha paintings at Preah Prom Rath Monastery in Cambodia, showing Yasodhara with her son Rahula.

Speak the truth; don't yield to anger; give something, if you are asked, even if you only have a little yourself.

          Dhammapada 224

You can beat a thousand men in a thousand battles, but the true conqueror is the person who conquers himself.

          Dhammapada 103
