" "

If a person has faith, Bhāradvāja, he preserves truth when he says: 'My faith is thus'; but he does not yet come to the conclusion: 'Only this is true, anything else is wrong.' In this way, Bhāradvāja, there is the preservation of truth; in this way he preserves truth; in this way we describe the preservation of truth. But as yet there is no discovery of truth.

Additional quotes by The Buddha

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 ők ezzel foglalkoznak.

Those who do not know satisfaction, even when living in a heavenly palace, are still not satisfied. Those who do not know satisfaction, even if rich, are poor. People who know satisfaction, even if poor, are rich.
