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

Blame who for Pleasure or Gain?

When in contact with pleasure or pain
in village or forest,

one should blame neither
oneself nor others.

Contacts make contact
dependent on a sense of wanting.

Where there's no sense of wanting,
contacts would make contact
with what?


- Udana 2.4, Sakkara Sutta

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