Slide 1: 

Buddha’sDhammapada - 1 ( View complete Dhammapada in 4 sets. This is Part - 1 )

Slide 2: 

Our life is shaped by our mind… we become what we think.

Slide 3: 

Hatred can never put an end to hatred; love alone can. This is an unalterable law.

Slide 4: 

People forget that their lives will end soon… For those who remember, quarrels come to an end.

Slide 5: 

The wise knowing what is trivial and what is vital set their thoughts on the supreme goal and attain the highest wisdom.

Slide 6: 

A wise person advances like fire, burning all his fetters… He strives for perfection (Nirvana) and never falls back.

Slide 7: 

A well trained and discipline mind brings health and happiness… but it is hard to train the mind.

Slide 8: 

Remember that this body will soon lie in the earth without life, without value, useless as a burned log.

Slide 9: 

More than those who hate you, more than all your enemies, an undisciplined mind does greater harm.

Slide 10: 

More than your mother, more than your father, more than all your family… a well-discipline mind does greater benefit.

Slide 11: 

The wise live without injuring nature, as the bee drinks honey without harming the flower.

Slide 12: 

Better to live in virtue and wisdom for one day than to live a thousand years with an evil and undisciplined mind.

Slide 13: 

The scent of flowers or sandalwood cannot travel against the wind but the fragrance of good spreads in all directions.

Slide 14: 

As a rich merchant traveling alone avoids dangerous roads, as a lover of life avoids poison… let everyone avoid dangerous deeds.

Slide 15: 

Long is the night to those who are awake; long is the road to those who are tired. Long is the cycle of birth and death to those who know not the Dharma.

Slide 16: 

If you find no one to support you on the spiritual path, walk alone… There is no companionship with the immature.

Slide 17: 

If you have no wound on your hand you can touch poison.

Slide 18: 

Choose the path that leads to ‘Nirvana’; avoid the road to profit and pleasure. Always remember this, O disciple of the Buddha, and strive for wisdom.

Slide 19: 

To those who honour the wise and follow them… four gifts will come in increasing measure - health, happiness, beauty and long life.

Slide 20: 

A wise person is not shaken by praise or blame.

Slide 21: 

Good people keep on walking whatever happens. They do not speak vain words and are the same in good fortune and bad. If a person desires neither children nor wealth nor power nor success by unfair means, know him to be good, wise and virtuous.

Slide 22: 

If you harm a pure and innocent person, you harm yourself.

Slide 23: 

Better than a speech of a thousand vain words is one thoughtful word that brings peace to the mind.

Slide 24: 

Be victorious over yourself and not over others.

Slide 25: 

The immature who know they are immature have a little wisdom… but the immature that look on themselves as wise are utterly Foolish.
