Compass for the Heart

"The compass will always show you the right direction, so you will stop relying on your own guesses. Like this, wherever you are, you have this sense that shows you the truth." - Ajahn Chah

Memory and Truth(Dhamma)

Inattentive, Undisciplined behaviour is a habit of the Kilesas(Defilements), leading to unwholesome thoughts and thus, perpetuating the cycle of brith and death.

Those wishing to escape from the cycle of rebirth should avoid such deplorable habits. They merely lead deeper into the abyss, eventually causing one to become that most underisable of persons - A wretched Samana.

Generally, people detest and shun wretched things, how much more so a wretched person with a wretched mind.


Excerpt from "Biography of Acariya Mun Bhuridatta Thera"

Of all the frangrances - sandal, tagara, blue lotus & jasmine - the fragance of virtue is by far the sweetest.
- Dhammapada, Chapter 4, Verse 55.
