Buddhist Wisdom for Today
Quotes and Teachings from the world of Buddhism and beyond, updated each weekday
When seeing, hearing, or sensing something and considering
it as the only thing that can bring comfort and advantage
to self, one is always inclined to get caught in it
and rule out everything else as inferior. Caught in one’s view and considering all other views
as inferior—this attitude is considered by the wise
as bondage, as the absence of freedom. A good practitioner is never too quick to believe what is
seen, heard, and sensed, including rules and rites. — Paramatthaka Sutta. 9 May 2024
