- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutras
- The Buddha said:
- Evil-doers who denounce the wise resemble a person who spits against the sky. The spittle will never reach the sky but comes down on himself.
- Evil-doers again resemble a man who stirs up the dust against the wind. The dust is never raised without doing him injury.
- Thus the wise will never be hurt but the curse is sure to destroy the evil-doers themselves.
- The Buddha said:
- If you endeavour to embrace the way through much learning, the way will not be understood. If you observe the way with simplicity of heart great indeed is this way.
- The Buddha said:
- Those who rejoice in seeing others observe the way will obtain great blessing.
- A shramana asked the Buddha: 'Would this blessing ever be destroyed?'
- The Buddha said:
- It is like a lighted torch whose flame can be distributed to ever so many other torches which people may bring along. And therewith they will cook food and dispel darkness, while the original torch itself remains burning ever the same. It is even so with bliss of the way.
