" "

Here bhikkhus, some misguided men learn the Dhamma–discourses, stanzas, expositions, verses, exclamations, sayings, birth stories, marvels, and answers to questions–but having learned the Dhamma, they do not examine the meaning of those teachings with wisdom. Not examining the meaning of those teachings with wisdom, they do not gain a reflective acceptance of them. Instead they learn the Dhamma only for the sake of criticising others and for winning in debates, and they do not experience the good for the sake of which they learned the Dhamma.

Additional quotes by The Buddha

To enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind, he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.

Když muže zasáhne kámen, způsobí mu bolest. Když ale tento muž, v reakci na své zranění, podlehne vnitřnímu trápení, truchlení a stěžování si, pak cítí bolesti dvě - tělesnou a duševní. Je to podobní, jako by sám sebe dobrovolně ubíjel ještě jedním kamenem.
