The thought manifests as the
word;
The word manifests as the
deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into
character;
So watch the thought and its
ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all
beings…
As the shadow follows the
body,
As we think, so we become.
From the Dhammapada (Sayings of the Buddha)
My growth stems from
here. To think one more moment before I
speak and ask a question or two.
“Is this serving me or them?’
“What is the purpose of this
statement?”
“Is it compassionate to
myself and others?”
