It is extremely base to harm a religious practicioner who dwells in peace. Who would proclaim themselves a hero for slaying someone who comes to them for refuge?
Evil people even when there is no benefit for themselves will make trouble for others. Though a poisonous snake obtains nourishment from the mind, doesn't it strike other creatures dead when it sees them?
Though you may imagine sensual desires are happiness, their gratification is only a cause for misery. To think that drinking alcohol is pleasure is to mistake madness for bliss
People pray for long life and look with fear on old age; to dread old age and to desire longevity is a perverted view of fools.
Those who even with wise people nearby, still learn nothing, are either possessed by demons or tormented because of previous deeds.
One who while having abundance, neither enjoys it nor bestows it on others, is either a victim of desease or else is actually a hungry ghost.
If you know religious theory yet do not practice it, what use is your religion? Even if the harvest is perfectly bountiful, how can it nourish carnivorous animals?
Although there are many who are skilled at telling what religion is and what it is not, those who have learned this and practice accordingly are extremely rare in this world.
You may come from a good family and be good looking and young, you're not attractive when you lack virtue. Although a peacock's feathers are gorgeously beautiful, they are not a worthy ornament for great people.
People who are ungrateful for kindness harm themselves far more than those whom they neglect. In making problems for their foes, people find they make problems for themselves instead.
Though you serve evil people dilligently they don't become your own kind of person. However much you boil water, its' impossible for it to burn a fire.
The wise accumulate merit, for only merit is fulfilling. If someone is very fortunate, that is sign of accumulated merit.
"I can decieve someone else by lying". If you think that, you are only decieving yourself. People who lies once make others doubt them, even when they speak the truth.
