Whatever A Monk Keeps Pursuing With His

Now, Kalamas, Don’t Go By Reports, By Legends, By Traditions, By Scripture, By Logical Conjecture, By Inference, By Analogies, By Agreement Through Pondering Views, By Probability, Or By The Thought, ‘This Contemplative Is Our Teacher.’ When You Know For Yourselves That, ‘These Qualities Are Skillful; These Qualities Are Blameless; These Qualities Are Praised By The Wise; These Qualities, When Adopted & Carried Out, Lead To Welfare & To Happiness’ — Then You Should Enter & Remain In Them

There Is Nothing More Dreadful Than The Habit Of Doubt. Doubt Separates People. It Is A Poison That Disintegrates Friendships And Breaks Up Pleasant Relations. It Is A Thorn That Irritates And Hurts; It Is A Sword That Kills.

If We Could See The Miracle Of A Single Flower Clearly Our Whole Life Would Change.

Words Do Not Express Thoughts Very Well; Every Thing Immediately Becomes A Little Different, A Little Distorted, A Little Foolish. And Yet It Also Pleases Me And Seems Right That What Is Of Value And Wisdom Of One Man Seems Nonsense To Another.

If You Truly Loved Yourself, You Could Never Hurt Another.
