One who never punishes any living creature either strong or weak, who never kills or even strikes another, such a one I call brahmin.

Más grande que la conquista en batalla de mil veces mil hombres es la conquista de uno mismo.

AS one instructs others,
So should one do oneself:
Only the self-controlled should restrain others.
Truly, it's hard to restrain oneself.

Among all the sutras I have expounded,
Lotus Sutra is the first and foremost!
If you are able to uphold the Lotus Sutra,
it means you are able to uphold the body of a Buddha!”

(LS 11: 3.35)
Lotus Sutra, Chapter 11, Section 3, Paragraph 35

What is the happiness ? Is it really happiness ? Nothing stable, just happen, stay and decay... Everything is impermanence, dissatisfaction and nothing can ever belong to itself

Live every act fully, as if it were your last.

"The fool worries, thinking, "I have sons, I have wealth." Indeed, when he himself is not his own, whence are sons, whence is wealth?"

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.

It is possible to live 24 hours in a state of love.

You are far from the end of your journey.
The way is not in the sky.
The way is in the heart.
See how you love.

If with uncorrupted mind you feel good will for even one being, you become skilled from that. But a Noble One produces a mind of sympathy for all beings, an abundance of merit.

In life, we can’t always control the first arrow.
However, the second arrow is our reaction to the first.
This second arrow is optional. — Sallatha Sutta

The world is on fire!
And are you laughing?
You are deep in the dark.
Will you not ask for light?

For behold your body — A painted puppet, a toy,
Jointed and sick and full of false
imaginings,
A shadow that shifts and fades.

How frail it is!
Frail and pestilent,
It sickens, festers and dies.
Like every living thing
In the end it sickens and dies.

Behold these whitened bones,
The hollow shells and husks of a dying
summer.
And are you laughing?

So also is the case if I don’t care the one abusing me. He is the one going to be demeaned.
