think first.

once a word is spoken
or an act committed,
we cannot undo the deed.

apologies
retractions
explanations

may lessen, but cannot undo
the harm done,
the pain that will remain.

think first.

a deeply rooted tree
which is cut down
will grow again.

like that tree
intolerance that is not uprooted
will rise again.

wishing to hurt another,
we experience anger
wishing to harm another,
we experience animosity
when animosity festers,
we experience hostility
when hostility is vented,
it becomes cruelty.

counteract greed with contentment.

if something new

comes our way,
be content

if it passes us by,
be content.

anger
our own most terrible enemy
our greatest threat to peace.

in the service of others,
one places another’s wishes and welfare
before one’s own comfort
and personal preferences.

ideally, there is
no thought of like or dislike,
no feelings of superiority or pride,
no thought of self-benefit.

only the wish to help others.

birth
aging
sickness
death
sorrow
and loss
why seek the same again?

it is our own lack of understanding.

we do not achieve things
by way of proclamations and slogans
but through
persistence,
effort, and
enthusiasm.

even a buddha
cannot change that which
we ourselves have destined.

equanimity is viewing
those we love
and those we hate
and wanting both to be happy.

but our own shortcomings.
