Just as a mother protects her only child even at the risk of her own life, so too, one should have immeasurable love to all beings in the world. Sn.149

One who wants to admonish another should first ponder like this; ‘Am I or am I not one who practices complete purity in body and speech?  Are these qualities present in me or not?’  If they are not there will no doubt be those who say; ‘Come now, why don’t you practice complete purity in body and speech first?’  Again, one who wants to admonish another should first ponder like this; ‘Have I freed myself from ill will and developed love towards others. It this quality present in me or not?’ If they are not there  will  no  doubt be  those  who  say;  ‘Come  now,  why  don’t  you  practice love yourself?’ A.V,79

The Dhamma protects those who practice Dhamma, as a great umbrella protects in time of rain. Ja.IV,55

If anyone abuses you, hits you, throws stones at you or strikes you with a stick or a sword, you must put aside all worldly desires and considerations and think, ‘My heart will not be moved. I shall speak no evil words. I will feel no resentment but maintain kindness and compassion for all beings.’ You should think like this. M.I,126

Irrigators lead the water, fletchers bend the shaft, carpenters shape the wood, the wise mold themselves. Dhp.80

The Buddha asked Anuruddha how he was able to live in harmony with his fellow monks and he replied; ‘I always consider what a blessing it is, what a real blessing, that I am living with such companions in the spiritual life. I think, speak and act with love towards them, both in public and in private. I always consider that I should put aside my own wishes and acquiesce to what they want, and then I do that. Thus we are many in body but one in mind.’ M.III,156

Having seen conflict as a danger and harmony as peace, abide in unity and kind- heartedness. This is the teaching of the Buddhas. Cp.3,15,13

In a battle they want a hero, in advice clear instruction, and in sharing food and drink a friend. But when in real need they want the counsel of the wise. Ja.I,387

There are four types of people found in the world. What four? Those concerned with neither their own welfare nor the welfare of others, those concerned with the welfare of others but not their own, those concerned with their own welfare but not that of others, and those who are concerned with both their own welfare and the welfare of others…Of these  four types  of people  those  who  are  concerned  with  their  own welfare and the welfare of others are the chief, the highest, the topmost and the best.

A.II,94

When someone becomes a monk (or disciple) out of faith in me, they have me as their leader,  their helper,  and their guide. And these people  follow my example.

M.I,16

If you take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhamma and the Sangha you will be free from fear and trembling. S.I,220

It is good to be an able householder, to share one’s food, to be modest about one’s wealth and not be downcast if it declines. Ja.III,466
