Non-association with fools, And association with wise men, Worship of respectworthy persons, This is the highest blessing. Knowledge and technical skill, And well-practiced moral observances, Words which are Well spoken, This is the Highest blessing. Giving and Dhamma-faring, The protection of relatives, Faultless actions, This is the highest blessing. Complete abstention from evil, And abstention from drinking, And heedfulness in the doctrines, This is the highest blessing. Reverence and modesty, Contentment and gratitude, Listening to the Dhamma at the propert time, This is the highest blessing. Patience and gentleness, And the influence of holy people, Discussion of Dhamma at the right time, This is the highest blessing.
True blessings taken from the Sutta Nipata if i am not mistaken. Personally i prefere the poetic summary of the 5 reflections Subject to birth, subject to aging, subject to death, run-of-the-mill people are repelled by those who suffer from that to which they are subject. And if I were to be repelled by beings subject to these things, it would not be fitting for me, living as they do. As I maintained this attitude -- knowing the Dhamma without paraphernalia -- I overcame all intoxication with health, youth, andlife as one who sees renunciation as rest. For me, energy arose, Unbinding was clearly seen. There's now no way I could partake of sensual pleasures. Having followed the holy life, I will not return.
yes, agreed, but the 5 reflections doesn't say what you are for! True Blessings ( from the Sutta Nipata) that was me before btw, usually when Kerry leaves herself in I post that she loves Joe and wants his babies, but Joe has gone
I dunno what i'm for but I wud like to think I am here to make the world a brighter place for everyone else!!!
