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

Is there anyone dearer than yourself?

Searching all directions
with one's awareness,

one finds no one dearer
than oneself.

In the same way, others
are fiercely dear to themselves.

So one should not hurt others
if one loves oneself.


- Udana 5.1, Raja Sutta

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