Dharma Snippets

Learnt and expanded from a Dharma talk:

放下不是放弃。

Right ‘letting go’ is not ‘giving up’;
it is acceptance of things as they are for now,
till they can be bettered later.

放下贪嗔痴；提起菩提心。

Let go of greed, hate and delusion;
Embrace Bodhicitta
to guide others to do the same.

自寻的苦最痛苦。

Self-created suffering is more painful.
E.g. fear of death is worse than death itself.
Most suffering is unnatural but self-created.
