An exerpt from the Mahanidana Sutta as The Buddha explains the principle of conditionality, his doctrine of Dependent Origination, on an individual basis, as it occurs within the mind, and also in a social context, as it occurs in human relationships.
"In this way, Ananda, conditioned by feeling is craving, conditioned by craving is seeking, conditioned by seeking is gain, conditioned by gain is valuation, conditioned by valuation is fondness, conditioned by fondness is possessiveness, conditioned by possessiveness is ownership, conditioned by ownership is avarice, conditioned by avarice is guarding, conditioned by guarding and resulting from guarding are the taking up of the stick, the knife, contention, dispute, arguments, abuse, slander, and lying. Evil and unskillful actions of many kinds thus appear in profusion." Very interesting considering it was said 2500 years ago, don't you think? |

"The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing." Proverbs 12:18
It's true. Wise people do not speak rashly but express compassion. |
