Buddha Zitate - The Dhammapada, Loka - Welt 167-178

167
Vermeide Niedrigkeit und Lässigkeit im Leben,
Irrlehren flieh' und sei der Weltlust nicht ergeben!
 
168
Steh' auf und sei nicht faul und lebe fromm und recht!
Hier und in jener Welt geht es dir dann nicht schlecht.
 
169
In Tugend übe dich, sei niemals ungerecht!
Hier und in jener Welt geht es dir dann nicht schlecht. 

Buddha Zitate - Dhammapada, Atta - Sich Selbst (157-166)

Der Weise nehme sich, wenn er sich schätzt, in acht,
Er halte stets sich wach im dritten Teil der Nacht!

Der Weise mach' zuerst sein eig'nes Leben recht,
Dann mag er andre lehr'n; so handelt er nicht schlecht.
 
159
Bevor du anderen darfst gute Lehren geben,
Mußt du dich selbst erzieh'n. Vorbildlich sei dein Leben!

Buddha Zitate - Dhammapada, Jarā - Altern (146-156)

146
Könnt ihr, wenn's immer brennt, noch fröhlich sein und lachen?
Wollt in der Finsternis ihr nicht ein Licht entfachen?
 
147
Schau diese Puppe an, bemalt, doch siech inwendig,
Die vieles wünscht und plant, ist krank und unbeständig
 
148
Der abgenutzte Leib ist siech, ein Krankheitsnest,
Ein Unratshaufen nur, der nach dem Tod verwest.

Buddha Zitate - Dhammapada, Pāpa - Übel-Böses (116-128)

116
Zum Guten strebe schnell, halt' übles Denken fern!
Wer langsam Gutes tut, verweilt beim Üblen gern
 
117
Wer einmal Böses tat, soll Wiederholung meiden,
Sich nicht daran erfreu'n; gehäuft bringt Böses Leiden.
 

Buddha Zitate - Dhammapada, Sahassa - Tausend (100-115)

100
Mehr wert als tausend Worte ohne rechten Sinn
Ist ein sinnvoller Spruch, der führt zum Frieden hin.
 
101
Mehr wert als tausend Lieder ohne rechten Sinn
Ist ein sinnvolles Lied, das führt zum Frieden hin.

Responsibilities of Teachers, Students

            Teacher is literally defined as someone whose job is to teach in a school or college or a person whose job is teaching. It is very simple indeed. In human tradition, teacher is a person who is worthy of respect. He must let himself to become worthy of respect; he purifies his mind, view and realizes the things as they really are. [Khudaka Nikaya: 297, Mahamangala Sutta]
I hope we all still remember our foremost teachers, our own parents. They taught us the good lessons of life that we ever had at school.

The difference between Right and Wrong

         Everyone has heard these two words, but not all understand them well. Here we should know that if we do something right, beneficial, and helpful, we bring peace and happiness, security to ourselves, others and the whole universe. So also if we do something wrong, we are in troubles. In this point, I would like to talk about the right path that all people should walk along in life. First path is called Right Understanding (right perspective) – understanding of natural law of all things, understanding of characteristics of existences, understanding of truths.

Who Must Be Friends of Us and Who Must Not

Who Must Be Friends of Us
(a) he who is a helpmate,
                             i.      he guards the heedless,
                           ii.      he protects the wealth of the heedless,
                         iii.      he becomes a refuge when you are in danger,
                         iv.      when there are commitments he provides you with double the supply needed.
