to all or none;
Text received from Sri-Lanka,Bhikkhu Samahita collector of
various sayings of the Buddha on Goodness.As for myself,I am only the messanger and the learner:
Friends:
The Buddha on Goodness:
Train yourself in doing only pure good,
Since that lasts and brings great happiness!
Cultivate generosity, peaceful simple living,
and a mentality of infinite friendliness... _/\_
Itivuttaka 16
Who is hospitable, open, straight and friendly,
Generous, gentle and always unselfish,
A guide, an instructor, a true leader,
Such one will great honour gain...
Digha Nikaya 31
For one who deliberately while fully attentive,
Develops and expands Universal Friendliness,
Experiencing the fading away of clinging,
All his chains are worn down thereby!
Itivuttaka 27
With good-will for the entire cosmos,
Cultivate a limitless heart and mind:
Beaming above, below, and all around,
Unobstructed, without trace of hostility.
Sutta Nipata I, 8
May all creatures, all breathing and living things,
All beings, one and all, without any exception,
Experience the good fortune of Happiness!
May they not fall into any harm...
