🌿 Dhammapada Verse 6 🌿

Pali:
Pare ca na vijānanti,
mayamettha yamāmase;
ye ca tattha vijānanti,
tato sammanti medhagā.

Meaning:
“Others do not understand that in quarrels we perish.
But the wise, seeing this truth, end their disputes.”

✨ The Buddha reminds us: wisdom is not in winning an argument, but in ending the quarrel — choosing peace over pride, forgiveness over anger. 🙏

🌊 Don’t wait for the waves to settle before entering the sea.
In the same way, don’t wait for all problems and responsibilities to end before cultivating spirituality. 🌿🙏✨
Peace begins not when life is free of challenges, but when the heart learns to be still amidst them. 💖

🎨💖 “There is nothing more artistic than to love people.”
— Vincent van Gogh, in a letter to his brother Theo (1888)
True art is found not only on canvas, but in the way we share kindness, compassion, and love with one another. 🌿🕊️

🌿 The Kalama Sutta 🌿
The Buddha advised the Kalamas: Do not believe something just because it is tradition, scripture, or spoken by teachers. Instead, examine for yourself — if it leads to greed, hatred, and delusion, abandon it; if it leads to kindness, peace, and wisdom, practice it. True Dhamma is what brings welfare and happiness to all beings.
