If good people quarrel they should quickly be reconciled and form a bond that long endures. Like useless cracked or broken pots, only fools do not seek reconciliation. One who understands this, who considers this teaching, does what’s hard to do and is a  worthy brother.  He  who  bears  the abuse of others is fit to be a  conciliator.

Ja.III,38

Tasty or bland, much or little, one can eat anything made  with love. Indeed love is the highest taste. Ja.III,145

If one is jealous, selfish or dishonest  he is unattractive despite their eloquence and good features. But the person who is purged of such things and is free from hatred, it is he or she who is really beautiful. Dhp.262-3

It  is  impossible  that  a  person  who  is  not  themselves  restrained,  disciplined  or satisfied could restrain, discipline or satisfy others. But it is very possible that one who has restrained, disciplined and satisfied themselves could help others become like that. M.I,45

Contentment is the greatest wealth. Dhp.204

If others  criticize  me,  the  Dhamma  or  the  Sangha  you  should  not  get angry or resentful because that would cloud your judgment and you would not know whether what they said was right and wrong. If others do this explain to them how their criticism is incorrect, saying, ‘This is not correct. That is not right. This is not our way. That is not what we do.’ Likewise, if others praise me or the Dhamma or the Sangha you should not get proud or puffed up because that would cloud your judgment and you would not know whether what they said was right and wrong. So if others do this explain to them how their praise is justified, saying, ‘This is correct. That is right. This is our way. That is found in us.’  D.I,3

If words  have  five  marks  they  are  not  ill-spoken  but  well-spoken,  laudable  and praised by the wise. What five? They are spoken at the right time, they are true, they are spoken with gentleness, they are to the point and they are spoken with love.

A.III,243

Just as a deep lake is clear and still, even so the wise become utterly peaceful when they hear the teachings. Dhp.82

Do not go by revelation, by tradition, by hearsay, by what the scriptures say, by logical  reasoning,  by  inferences,  by  the  supposed  authority  of  the   teacher  or because you think ‘He is our teacher.’ But when you yourself know that a thing is good, admirable, praised by the wise, and if undertaken and practiced leads to your benefit and happiness, them you should undertake it. A.I,190

Once, the Buddha said to some monks who were quarrelling:  `If animals  can be courteous, deferential and polite towards each other, so should you be.'  Vin.II,162

Of little importance is the loss of such things as wealth but it is a terrible thing to lose wisdom.  Of little  importance  is  the  gaining  of such  things  as  wealth  but  it  is  a wonderful thing to gain wisdom. A.I,15

If the heedless person recites the sacred texts but does not apply what they say, they are  like  a  cowherd  counting  someone  else’s  cows,  they  will  not  enjoy  the benefits of the holy life. Dhp.19 (责任编辑：admin)
