Stonepeace (1081-1090)
[1081]
No drama please –
only pure Dharma.
[1082]
What more deluded
than one deluded person
is one group of persons
believing in that deluded person.
[1083]
The more what is
against the Dharma strikes you,
the more should you take refuge in the Dharma,
to not go against the Dharma too.
[1084]
Be loyal to the truth,
not those
who claim to espouse it,
who might not be.
[1085]
Just do what is right,
for what else should you do –
the wrong?
[1086]
If what wrong cannot be pointed out,
it is surely wrong to point it out as wrong.
[1087]
What needed is corrective action,
not destructive punishment.
[1088]
The foolish look for
what corroborates with their foolishness,
The wise look for
what eradicates their foolishness.
[1089]
Jealousy is a mixed poison,
with greed for the craved,
with hatred of those who have the craved,
with delusion that gives rise to the above.
[1090]
Brace for suffering
to suffer less.
Fret suffering
to suffer more.
