THREE TYPE OF ANGER


There are three type people in the world, What three?
One who s carving on a rock,
one who is scratching on the ground and

and his anger lasts long, just curving on the rock is
not soon worn off by mind, water or lapse of time.

what short of person like scratching on the ground?

sharply, roughly, is easily reconciled and become agreeable and friendly,
just as writer on the water disappears.

IF ONLY THEY KNOW

If beings know, as i know,
the results of sharing gifts,
they would not enjoy their gifts without sharing them with others,
nor would the taint of stinginess obsess the hearth and stay there.
Event if it where their last and final bit of food,
they not bi enjoy its use without sharing it,
if there were anyone to receive it.

PURE LIFE

On life journey 
FAITH is nourishment
VIRTUOUS DEEDS are a shelter,
WISDOM is the light by day and
RIGHT MINDFULNESS is 
the protection by night

If a man Lives a pure life 
nothing can destroy him;
if he has conquered greed
nothing can limit his freedom

JOY OF FREEDOM

There is no fire like greed,
no crime like hatred,
no sorrow like separation,
no sickness like hunger of heart,
and no joy like the joy of freedom.

Hunger is a greatest affliction,
conditionality the greatest source of despair.
The wise, seeing this as it is realize liberation, the greatest joy.

BODDHISATTA

BODDHISATTA

Before my enlightment,
while i was still only an unlightmened bodhisatta*,
i too, being myself subject to birth, ageing, sickness,death, sorrow, and defilement,
i sought what was also subject to these things.

Then I considered thus:

"Why being myself being to birth, ageing, sikness,death, sorrow, and defilement, 
do I seek what is also subject to these? having understood the danger in them, i sought the unborn, unageing, un ailing, deathless, sorrowless, and undefiled suprame security from bondage, Nibana"

*the buddha himself uses this term when speaking of his life prior to elightment (eg.Majjhima Nikaya 4) bodhisattahood is neither mentioned nor recommended as an ideal higher than or alternative to arahantship ; nor is there any record in the pali scriptures of a disciple declaring is as his aspiration.
