Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom

by Nancy on November 11, 2009

I’m rereading a book my friend Dawn gave me.  It’s called 1001 Pearls of Buddhist Wisdom.  When I went through it the first time, I highlighted my favorite bits of wisdom.  So now it’s fun to skim back through and read them again.  Here’s some of my favorites:

“You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.”

“Ride your emotions as the ship rides the waves; don’t get upset among them.  There are people who enjoy getting swamped emotionally, just as, incredibly, there are people who enjoy getting drunk.”

“The more we know, the more we forgive.”

“If you are not learned but pretend to know, it is evil.  If you are learned but hide it, it is evil.”

I’ll share more soon!
