Maya - extracts from Buddhism



'He insulted me,he hurt me,he defeated me,he robbed me.' Those who have such thoughts will not be free from hate.For hate is not conquered by hatred: hatred is conquered by love.This is an eternal law.

Many do not know that we are here in this world to live in harmony.Those who know this do not fight against each other.

He who lives only for pleasure,and whose soul is not in harmony,who considers not the food he eats, is idle and has no power of virtue - such a man is moved by Maya,is moved by selfish temptations,even as a weak tree is shaken by the wind.
