Rather than speaking badly about people

February 14, 2014

To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousands in some body else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce only friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities. If you find yourself slandering anybody, first imagine that your mouth is filled with excrement. It will break you of the habit quickly enough. ~Dalai Lama

    Good advice until a relentless series of unwarranted attacks finally surpasses our patience. Peaceful non-aggresion has its limitations of sacrifice.

    All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good people to do (or say) nothing. 
    To speak the truth is not slander.
    Slander is a false accusation.

My Reflection

This site is a tribute to Buddhism. Buddhism has given me a tremendous inspiration to be who and where I am today. Although I came to America at a very young age, however, I never once forget who I am and where I came from. One thing I know for sure is I was born as a Buddhist, live as a Buddhist and will leave this earth as a Buddhist. I do not believe in superstition. I only believe in karma.

Tipitaka: The pali canon (Readings in Theravada Buddhism). A vast body of literature in English translation the texts add up to several thousand printed pages. Most -- but not all -- of the Canon has already been published in English over the years. Although only a small fraction of these texts are available here at Access to Insight, this collection can nonetheless be a very good place to start.
