The more progress, the more insanity with the material; the, more insane, the more believing it is progress. (34) |
|
The terrible thing to know first of all is the story of these five nivarana (hindrances); if they aren’t known it’s impossible to know anything~ about kilesa (defilement). (35) |
|
Being a comrade of nature is something that interests no one. (36) |
|
The Heart of Buddhism in the symbol of the cross -- "cutting ego-body." (37) |
|
The Heart of Buddhism on The Bible's first page: not attaching to good and evil; otherwise you must die. (38) |
|
Everyone is capable of being a Buddhadasa (Servant of the Buddha), if not a lot then at least a bit, but they aren’t at all interested. (39) |
|
There are two kinds of deathlessness: not dying physically (for sentient beings) and not dying spiritually (for human beings). (40) |
|
People who despise the Wat and despise the Dhamma mostly aren't aware that they hate; thus, they never think of turning to Dhamma. (41) |
|
Vinaya was laid established, Dhamma was discovered and proclaimed; this is how different they are. (42) |
|
Life survives by naturally occurring "temporary Nibbanas"; otherwise, we'd all be neurotic, if not flat-out dead. (43) |
|
The world's people are ungrateful – as if deaf and blind – toward "temporary Nibbana." On top of that they become traitors by reviling Nibbana. (44) |
|
Every point and system of morality has Paramattha-dhamma (ultimate truth) as its source. (45) |
|
If morality doesn't return there will be world annihilation, if it comes back the world will be tranquil and cool; but no one is at all interested. (46) |
|
If ultimate truth returns the world will be bright, if it doesn't return the world remains dark; but now the darkness has become ordinary. (47) |
|
Humans are creating a world such that God can do nothing but merely sit and watch blinking away anger and tears. (48) |
|
Children really are the true world builders of the future. (49) |
|
That worshipping in front of Buddha images, however much they arrange it, the more superstitious it becomes. (50) |
|
If we watch the world that God is creating this very moment, we'll see how undependable it is and that it can't be trusted either. (51) |
|
Fools say that only time eats us and that we can't eat time. (52) |
|
When we're gluttonous, food eats us; when we're mindful, we eat food. How it is typically, you'd better think and observe for yourself. (53) |
|
Interpreting paraloka wrongly it becomes the "next world." Actually, it's "another kind of world" from what we usually have here. (54) |
|
The more incense and candles lit, the more it becomes superstition; at best, it's Buddhism for thumbsucking kids. (55) |
|
Sexual pleasures are the wages for breeding, don't get too interested or you'll end up worshipping them. (56) |
|
I can't give you riches, but might give a mind far more valuable. (57)
|
|
Buddhists must know how to speak both people language and Dhamma language. (58) | |
|
One person speaks money language, another speaks Dhamma language; how in the world will they understand each other. (59) |
|
Language spoken as if there was a "self" is people language; words spoken without any meaning of "self" is Dhamma language. (60) |
|
Be careful that metta-karuna (loving kindness and compassion) don't become sexual love before you know it. (61) |
|
One should manage daily life so that it is full with Nibbana -– tranquility of coolness. (62) |
|
They wait to receive the flavor of Nibbana after they've died, although they ought to receive it here and now. (63) |
|
Every kind of work always makes one a bit smarter, even sweeping up trash. (64) |
|
Equal rights for women deprive the world of both fathers and mothers, leaving only sexless neuters. (65) |
|
The churches built by a Personal God will be closing down, but the churches' built by idappaccayata (the Natural Law of Conditionality) will be opening more and more. (66)
