      THE ESSENCE OF BUDDHISM.

       Table of Contents

      All beings desire happiness; therefore to all extend your benevolence.—Mahavamsa.

      Because he has pity upon every living creature, therefore is a man called "holy."—Dhammapada.

      Like as a mother at the risk of her life watches over her only child, so also let every one cultivate towards all beings a boundless (friendly) mind.—Metta-sutta.

      Hurt not others with that which pains yourself.—Udanavarga.

      I cannot have pleasure while another grieves and I have power to help him.—Jatakamala.

      With pure thoughts and fulness of love, I will do towards others what I do for myself.—Lalita Vistara.

      If you desire to do something pleasing to me, then desist from hunting forever! The poor poor beasts of the forest, being ... dull of intellect, are worthy of pity for this very reason.—Jatakamala.

      You will generously follow the impulse of pity, I hope.—Jatakamala.

      For that they hated this poor slender boy,

       That ever frowned upon their barbarous sports,

       And loved the beasts they tortured in their play,

       And wept to see the wounded hare, or doe,

       Or trout that floundered on the angler's hook.

      Though a man with a sharp sword should cut one's body bit by bit, let not an angry thought ... arise, let the mouth speak no ill word.—Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king.

      Them who became thy murderers, thou forgavest.—Lalita Vistara.

      Overcome evil by good.—Udanavarga.

      Conquer your foe by force, and you increase his enmity; conquer by love, and you reap no after-sorrow.—Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king.

      This great principle of returning good for evil.—Sutra of Forty-two Sections.

      The member of Buddha's order ... should not intentionally destroy the life of any being, down even to a worm or an ant.—Mahavagga.

      Whether now any man kill with his own hand, or command any other to kill, or whether he only see with pleasure the act of killing—all is equally forbidden by this law.—Sha-mi-lu-i-yao-lio.

      My teaching is this, that the slightest act of charity, even in the lowest class of persons, such as saving the life of an insect out of pity, that this act ... shall bring to the doer of it consequent
