MenoSundays; Life Lived Lovingly


“Conquer the angry one by not getting angry;
conquer the wicked by goodness; 
conquer the stingy by generosity, 
and the liar by speaking the truth."
(v 223 The Dhammapada)

  7. I believe there is truth in these words. If I apply them personally, I may conquer my tendency to be angry by choosing not to respond with anger, or my selfishness by choosing to act with generosity. I don't see the quote as "high flung rhetoric," an expression usually implying disdain.
