Once, while the Buddha was staying among the Bhaggis on the Crocodile Hill in the Deer Park at Bhesakala Grove, the good man called Nakulapita lay sick, ailing and grievously ill. Then his wife Nakulamata said to him: “I beg you, good man, do not die worried, for the Buddha has said that the fate of the worried is not good. Maybe you think: ‘Alas, when I am gone, my wife will be unable to support the children or keep household together.’ But do not think like that, for I am skilled in spinning cotton and carding wool, and I will manage to support the children or keep household together after you are gone.” |

There was a grandfather who had a strong kindness towards his grandson. They were very close together with supportive attitudes. The grandson was 17 years. The grandfather thought of sharing something which helps the grandson and his companions.
“Do you know that there are two lions are in your heart? They are about to fight each other”, said the grandfather. “One is generous and kind. The other one is greedy and unkind”, he said further.
The grand son was so curious and suddenly a question came to his mind with a picture. “Who is going to win?” He asked.
“The one whom that you feed”; was the answer of the grandfather. |

Everyone in the world wants to be happy and peaceful. We seek happiness in the world through our five senses and the mind. When the object is pleasant we like it and attach to it. When it is unpleasant we dislike it and clash with it. This attitude disturbs our happiness and becomes the source of long term conflicts.
It is our duty to attend peace in the heart to be happy. We should be aware of maintaining our mind with peace. Like and dislike never help us to be happy or peaceful. So it is very meaning to be aware of love. The nature of the love is the friendly appreciation of the object. It is indifferent. Love has energy to transform the bad to good and the good to better. |

Wisdom Quote |
“There are these four types of persons found in the world. What four? He who is concerned neither with his own good nor the good of others, he who is concerned with the good of others but not his own, he who is concerned with his own good but not the good of others, and he who is concerned with both his own good and the good of others.- he is of these four persons the chief, the best, the topmost, the highest, the supreme. Just as from a cow comes milk, from milk cream, from cream butter, from butter ghee, and from ghee the skimmings of ghee, and that is said to be the best –even so, the person who is concerned with both his own good and the good of others is of these four persons the chief, the best, the topmost, the highest, the supreme.” -Lord Buddha |
