Chúng ta phải thừa nhận rằng khổ đau của một người hoặc một quốc gia cũng là khổ đau chung của nhân loại; hạnh phúc của một người hay một quốc gia cũng là hạnh phúc của nhân loại.Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Trong sự tu tập nhẫn nhục, kẻ oán thù là người thầy tốt nhất của ta. (In the practice of tolerance, one's enemy is the best teacher.)Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Giặc phiền não thường luôn rình rập giết hại người, độc hại hơn kẻ oán thù. Sao còn ham ngủ mà chẳng chịu tỉnh thức?Kinh Lời dạy cuối cùng
"Nó mắng tôi, đánh tôi, Nó thắng tôi, cướp tôi." Ai ôm hiềm hận ấy, hận thù không thể nguôi.Kinh Pháp cú (Kệ số 3)
Mỗi ngày, hãy mang đến niềm vui cho ít nhất một người. Nếu không thể làm một điều tốt đẹp, hãy nói một lời tử tế. Nếu không nói được một lời tử tế, hãy nghĩ đến một việc tốt lành. (Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought.)Lawrence G. Lovasik
Đôi khi ta e ngại về cái giá phải trả để hoàn thiện bản thân, nhưng không biết rằng cái giá của sự không hoàn thiện lại còn đắt hơn!Sưu tầm
Khi bạn dấn thân hoàn thiện các nhu cầu của tha nhân, các nhu cầu của bạn cũng được hoàn thiện như một hệ quả.Đức Đạt-lai Lạt-ma XIV
Kẻ ngu dầu trọn đời được thân cận bậc hiền trí cũng không hiểu lý pháp, như muỗng với vị canh.Kinh Pháp Cú - Kệ số 64
Sự giúp đỡ tốt nhất bạn có thể mang đến cho người khác là nâng đỡ tinh thần của họ. (The best kind of help you can give another person is to uplift their spirit.)Rubyanne
Phán đoán chính xác có được từ kinh nghiệm, nhưng kinh nghiệm thường có được từ phán đoán sai lầm. (Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment. )Rita Mae Brown

A New Era of Dhamma
My dear Dhamma children:
During the last few days you have had your annual discussions and meetings. Every organization has certain rites and rituals, and annual conferences are part of these: Reports must be read, committees formed, resolutions passed, and there must be a welcoming and a closing address.
But this is a Dhamma organization, and we need to have an ongoing process of introspection day by day, not just once a year. There is nothing wrong in meeting together at the beginning of the year for discussion, but see that it doesn’t become just a rite or a ritual; see that the results of the conference really are for the benefit of others. Some mistakes may have been made; now see that they do not happen in the future. There are certain good points, virtues; well, how can we increase those virtues?
We have been experimenting, because this is new for me also. Whatever history we know from Ledi Sayadaw to today is from the past era of 2,500 years. I am fortunate to be here for the beginning of the next 2,500 years when the Dhamma has to spread, and it is spreading. There is bound to be a crisis of growth, there will be difficulties, problems. I or my Dhamma sons or Dhamma daughters might make mistakes, but we should learn from those mistakes.
Last year we made some experiments which gave good results and we learned from them, and this year we will continue to experiment. The aim is to serve more and more people so that they gain the greatest benefit.
This year we will have separate teachers taking full responsibility for separate centres. Perhaps next year we will ask others to serve, as we have to train more and more teachers. We will also have some teachers who are not assigned to look after a centre, but to work on particular projects. In this way we will continue to experiment so that we pass on to future generations ideal ways of spreading Dhamma.
In two years’ time it will be 1999, which is an important year as it is both the birth centenary of my Dhamma father, Sayagyi U Ba Khin, and also we will be taking Vipassana into the next millennium. The spread of Vipassana must be so strong and pure that it continues to serve people for centuries, for the good and benefit of so many. Let us be good vehicles for the spread of Dhamma. May you all get real Dhamma energy and more strength, so that you can serve better than you have. I am happy with whatever has been done in the past, but it is just a good beginning; there is much more to do.
One task that we have accomplished is in the field of pariyatti: We have edited and are publishing all the Pāli literature—about 140 volumes—in Devanagari script. We want to collect and publish all Buddha’s words that are available in Sanskrit and other scripts, and also material that is written on palm leaves, so that we can make a comparative study of all this. We also want to investigate why the wonderful, result-oriented teaching of Vipassana was lost in this and other countries. We do not wish to condemn anybody, but the truth must be found so that such things do not happen in the future.
To complete all this we have a lot of work to do. The Dhamma family is increasing, and I want it to increase—family planning is not for us! Because Dhamma must spread, the family should be bigger and bigger, and these thousands of hands must get all the strength and energy of pure Dhamma to really work.
May Dhamma grow. May my Dhamma sons and daughters grow in Dhamma to serve others, to help others. Keep on developing your own pāramīs and at the same time help many to come out of misery. May Dhamma spread around the world. May more and more people come out of misery and enjoy the benefits of the Buddha-Dhamma teaching.
