Venerable Shravasti Dhammika

The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

“He abused me, he hit me,

He oppressed me, he robbed me.”

Those who continues to hold such thoughts

Never still their hatred.

 

“He abused me, he hit me,

He oppressed me, he robbed me.”

Those who do not continue to hold such thoughts

Soon still their hatred.

 

For in this world,

Hatred is never appeased by more hatred;

It is love that conquers hatred.

This is an eternal law.
