your best speech

Speak when you are angry,

And you will make

The best speech 

You will ever regret.

- Ambrose Bierce

Power of PATIENCE

There is no evil like hatred,

And no fortitude like PATIENCE.

Thus I should strive in various ways 

To Meditate on PATIENCE.

- verse two

Book 📚 by Shanthi Deva titled,

'A Guide to the Bodhisattva Way of Life.'.

Dalai Lama 's favourite reference is to the verses in above book.

deadly anger

Whatever wholesome deeds,

Such as venerating the buddhas 

and (practising) generosity,

That have been amassed 

Over a thousand aeons,

Will all be destroyed 

In one moment of 

ANGER.

- first verse

A Guide to Bodhisattva Way of Life.

Useless worries

If a problem is fixable,

If a situation is such that you can do something about it,

Then there is no need to worry.

If it's not fixable,

Then there is no help in worrying.

There is no benefit in worrying whatsoever.

- The XIV Dalai Lama
