The holy robe - extracts from Buddism



The man who puts on a holy robe with impurity in his heart is not worth of the robe.The one whose heart is pure from sin and whose soul is strong in virtue,who has self harmony and truth is worthy of that robe.

The rain seeps through the ill thatched hut,passion will seep through an untrained mind. As rain cannot seep through a well thatched hut , passion cannot seep through a strong mind.

Those who are selfish suffer here and hereafter in both the worlds.The people who are selfless rejoice in both the worlds.

Those who preach scriptures but fail to practice their teachings are like cowherd counting other's cows.

to be continued....
