drugs, they give without any bad thoughts, and
always feel happy, both in the past, present,
and the future.
Only if you have the wisdom one can have
Nana-kosalla effort and can be beneficial to other beings, and
only by doing so, the act of generosity can be

attainment of Buddhahood.
(C) Only a person who has the wisdom to see

Thus, one must reflect on the characteristics of wisdom,

Or, Bodhisatta had to remind himself, "Without

enough effort? "
Defilements such as greed, hatred, and others are
difficult to be controlled like a mad elephant; one's actions

"All creatures are like my own child, how
probably a wise man can be angry because of the crime
committed by his own son? "
"He was nasty to me because he was ruled by the demon of anger; I
must destroy the stealth master it. "
"I myself is also a cause of crime which causes
this suffering, (as if I was not born, it is impossible
there is this evil deed). "

bad deeds, and mental and physical phenomena (nama-rupa) that
suffer the consequences of bad deeds, the two sets

"It is not proper for me to release the noble qualities of
patience only with anger. "
"How can I have a noble qualities such as morality,
and others, if the anger, the opponent of all noble qualities
appear in myself? And with no noble qualities
aforesaid, how can I provide assistance to
other creatures and reach my goal to achieve
Buddhahood. "
"Only with patience, one can firmly against
influence of external objects and has a concentration of mind;
and only by concentration of mind, one can see
all forms (samkhara) that is not eternal and
Dhamma is not satisfactory and all are non-self, Nibbana
