Hatred Is Overcome Only
By Non-Hatred
idha verena veràni kudàcanaü na hi saümantã
averena ca saümanti esa sanantano dhaümo
idha: in this world; veràni: hatred
(enmity); verena: through
hatred; kudàcanaü: at no time; na hi saümantã:
not subsided;
averena ca: only by non-hatred; saümanti: are pacified;
esa: this (is); sanantano: ageless; dhaümo: wisdom.
English Translation Buddhist
Quote Buddha
Those who attempt to conquer hatred by hatred are like warriors
who take weapons to overcome others who bear arms.
This does not end hatred, but gives it room to grow.
But, ancient wisdom has advocated a different timeless strategy
to overcome hatred. This eternal wisdom is to meet hatred with
non-hatred. The method of trying to conquer hatred through
hatred never succeeds in overcoming hatred. But, the method
of overcoming hatred through non-hatred is eternally effective.
That is why that method is described as eternal wisdom.

English Translation Buddhist
quote Dhamma
Most of us are't willing to face the reality of impermanence and
death.
That's because we forget that our lives are transitory,
Buddhist
Quote
that we quarrel with each other, as if we are going to live for
ever.
But, if we face the fact of death, our quarrels will come to an
end.
We will then realize the folly of fighting when we ourselves are
doomed to die. Excited by emotions our thought being clouded, we
cannot see the truth about life.
When we see the truth, however, our thoughts become free of
emotions.

Sorrow Springs From Evil Deeds

kiliññhaü kammaü: blemished action; disvà:
having seen;
socati: grieves; so: he; viha¤¤ati: is vexed. Buddhist
quote Buddha
People who commit evil actions are unaware of their consequences
at
the moment of performance. Therefore, they tend to repent on seeing
the consequences of what they did. This creates grief. Buddhist
quote This does not
mean that a man must always suffer the consequences of his deeds,
without any hope. If that is the case, there is no benefit in
leading a religious life, nor is there any opportunity to work
for one’s emancipation.
In this pair of verses, suffering and happiness in the next world
are also
indicated. Buddhist Quote
Buddhists do not believe that this life on earth is the only life
and that human beings are the only kind of being. Planes of existence
are numerous and beings are innumerable. After death one may be
born as a human being, in a subhuman state or in a celestial plane
according to Buddhist Quote Buddha
one’s actions. The so-called being in the subsequent life
is neither the same as its predecessor (as it has changed) nor
absolutely different (as it is the identical stream of life).
Buddhism denies the identity of a being but affirms an identity
of process.
