英语版《妙问妙答》(41)

. S.II,198

I have proclaimed the Dhamma without any idea of a hidden or open teaching. I do

not have the closed fist of a teacher who holds something back. D.II,100

After I am gone let the Dhamma and the discipline be your teacher. D.II,154

I will not treat you the way a potter treats wet clay. Repeatedly restraining I will speak  to  you,  repeatedly  admonishing.   The   strong  heart  will  stand   the  test. M.III,118

It is good from time to time to think about your own faults. It is good from time to time to think about the faults of others. It is good from time to time to think your own virtues. It is good from time to time to think about the virtues of others. A.IV,160

That wise one who is grateful and thankful, a lovely friend firm in devotion, helps  the distressed with respect and care,  and is thus rightly called ‘good’. Ja.V,146


Those who do good rejoice now, they rejoice later, they rejoice both now and later. They rejoice and are happy when they think of their own good deeds. Dhp.16

Give up wrong. It can be done. If it were impossible I would not ask you to do so. But it is possible and therefore I say, ‘Give up wrong.’ If giving up wrong led to your loss and sorrow I would not ask you to do so. But it will be for your welfare and happiness and therefore I say, ‘Give up wrong.’ Nourish the good. It can be done. If it were impossible  I  would not ask you  to  do  so.  But it is possible and therefore  I say, ‘Nourish the good.’  If nourishing the good led to your loss and sorrow I would not ask you to do so. But it will enhance your welfare and happiness and therefore I say, ‘Nourish the good’. A.I,58

All tremble at punishment, life is dear to all.  Therefore, put yourself in the place of others and neither kill nor condone killing. Dhp.130

Of the tree in whose shade one sits or lies, not a branch of it should he break, for if he did he would be a betrayer of a friend, an evil doer. Pv.21,5

Mind  is  luminous  but  is  stained  by  defilements   that  come  from   without.   This ordinary uninstructed people do not understand and so for them there is no mental development. Mind is luminous and can be cleansed of defilements that come from without. Instructed noble disciples understand this and so for them there is mental development. A.I,10

The sky and the Earth are far apart and this side of the ocean is far from the other side. But they say even further apart than this is the Dhamma of the good from the Dhamma of the bad. Ja.V,483

Like the Himalayas, the good shine from afar. Like an arrow shot into the night, the bad are obscure. Dhp.304

The Lord said, ‘What do you think about this? What is the purpose of a mirror?’ ‘It is for the purpose of reflection,’ replied Rahula.

Then the Lord said; ‘Even so, an action should be done with body, speech or mind only after careful reflection’. M.I,415

Bend like a bow and be as pliant as bamboo, and then you will not be at odds with anyone. Ja.VI,295

Just as the River Ganges flows towards, inclines towards, tends towards the east, so too,  one  who  cultivates  and  develops  the  Noble  Eightfold  Path  flows  towards, inclines towards, tends towards Nirvana. (责任编辑:admin)
