Sin easily develops.--Rock Inscriptions of Asoka. May I never do, nor cause to be done, nor contemplate the doing of, even the most trivial sin!--Attanagalu-vansa (conclusion). Let not one who is asked for his pardon withhold it.--Mahavagga. 'T is wrong to conquer him who sues for mercy.--Lalita Vistara. Let none out of anger or resentment wish harm to another.--Metta-sutta. Let us then live happily, not hating those who hate us. In the midst of those who hate us, let us dwell free from hatred.--Dhammapada. For hatred does not cease by hatred at any time; hatred ceases by love; this is an old rule.--Dhammapada. (To the) self-reliant there is strength and joy.--Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king. Let him not grieve for that which is lost.--Attadanda-sutta. |
