Hickersonia's Tumbler, "Udana."
Bytes of Dhamma
This page is a place to post shorter Dhamma quotes and links and links back to here when I post something that a Tumblr reader might be interested in.

Kept only merely for historical reference; my old Blogspot Page (Aug. 7, 2010 to Februart 12, 2012). Not exactly a blog on religion or anything -- more like a page of complaints. It is interesting to see how my perspective on things has changed over the years.

Buddhaghosa, in discussing anger said, “By doing this you are like a man who wants to hit another and picks up a burning ember or excrement in his hand and so first burns himself or makes himself stink.” Visuddhimagga IX, 23

"Little though he recites the sacred texts, but puts the Teaching into practice, forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion, with true wisdom and emancipated mind, clinging to nothing of this or any other world — he indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life." Dhammapada verse 20
