"The essence of dharma practice is to bring about a discipline within the mind, a state of mind free of hatred, lust and harmful intentions. Hence the entire message of the Buddhadharma could be summed up in two succinct statements: help others, and if you cannot help them, at least do not harm others. It is a grave error to think that apart from such a disciplining of the physical and mental faculties there is something else called the 'practice of the dharma'" His Holiness The Dalai Lama. ' Do not commit any nonvirtuous actions, Practice perfect virtue, Subdue your own mind: This is the teaching of the Buddha' Shakyamuni Buddha |
