The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

A cloth that is stained and dirty, when dipped in green, yellow, red or crimson, is not dyed properly. And why? Because the cloth is not clean. In the same way, a bad destiny may be expected when the mind is stained.

A cloth that is quite clean, quite pure, when dipped in green, yellow, red or crimson, is dyed properly. And why? Because the cloth is clean. In the same way, a good destiny may be expected when the mind is pure.
