Dharma Flower Sangha

The basics that we need to develop are: firstly, to be upright and honest; secondly, to be wary of wrong-doing; thirdly, to have the attribute of humility within one’s heart, to be at ease and content with little. If we are content with little in regards to speech and in all other things, we will see ourselves; we won’t be drawn into distractions. The mind will have a foundation of sĩla, samadhi, and pañña.

Therefore practitioners of the Path should not be careless. Even if you are right, don’t be careless. And if you are wrong, don’t be careless. If things are going well or you’re feeling happy, don’t be careless. Why do I say “Don’t be careless”? Because all of these things are uncertain. Know them as such. -excerpt from “Food For The Heart” by Ajahn Chah
