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

Some clear drops

Patience is not silence, but speaking & acting at the
right time with a calm mind, in an unharmful way.

Generosity is not giving everything you have or spending
all of your time for the benefit of others, but not keeping
your mind hanging onto what you have.

Compassion is not putting yourself into trouble,
but taking others out of trouble.

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