Buddhist Wisdom

Dwelling in kindness, a monk with faith in the Awakened One's teaching, would attain the good state,the peaceful state: stilling-of-fabrications ease.

Monk, bail out this boat. It will take you lightly when bailed.
Having cut through passion, aversion,you go from there to Unbinding.

-Dhammapada, 25, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
