when you find that anything agrees with reason

and is conducive to the good and benefit of allthen accept it and live up to it.(KALAMA SUTTA)

How easy it is to see your brother's faults,

How hard it is to face your own.Illusions, errors, and lies are the daughters of Mara,and great power is given unto them to seduce theminds of men and lead them astray upon the path of

evil.Lord BUDDHA

JealousyRationality is a two-edged sword and serves the

purpose of love equally as well as the purpose of hatred....Only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth;not going all the way, and not starting...

Rationality is the platform on which the truth standeth.

No truth is attainable without reason....Some(false Preachers) form their Dharma arbitrarilyand fabricate it articially; they advance complexspeculations and imagine that good results areattainable only by the acceptance of their theories;yet the Truth is but One

Be like unto brothers; one in love, one in holiness,and one in your zeal for the truth"Evil thought is the most dangerous thief;

virtue is the most precious treasure.The mind takes possession of everything not only on earth,also in heaven, and immortality is its securest treasure-trove.It is ignorance that smothers, and it is carelessness thatmakes it invisible. The hunger of craving pollutes theworld, and the pain of suffering causes the greatest fear. LordBuddha09

Wisdom

The spokes of the wheel are the rules of pure conduct:Justice is the uniformity of their length;wisdom is the tire;modesty and thoughtfulness are the hub in which theimmovable axle of truth is xed. .It is a man's own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures himto evil ways. Lord Buddha

ReligionWhoever follows impure thoughts Suffers in this worldand the next.In both worlds he suffers And how greatlyBy your own folly ,You will be brought as low,As youworst enemy wishes

However many holy words you read,However many youspeak,What good will they do you If you do not act uponthem?Follow the way of virtue.Follow the way joyfully,Through

this world and on beyond!10

Truth cannot be fashioned.Truth is one and thesame; it is immutable. Truth is above the power ofde , it is omnipresent,eternal, and most glorious-ath
