“When we have learned that Noble Truth of Sorrow, learned in deep meditation on the world about us how all must come to death and are doomed to Woe, Hatred is surely vanquished, giving place to Love:-for who should hate, once he has understood and known?”

The Law of Righteousness. By Ananda Maitriya. (Allan Bennett)

“When we have learned that Noble Truth of Sorrow, learned in deep meditation on the world about us how all must come to death and are doomed to Woe, Hatred is surely vanquished, giving place to Love:—for who should hate, once he has understood and known?” [via]

  1. “a system of ethics founded on a reasoned argument from the known facts of life to what must surely follow, if the universal laws we see in operation in the world about us shall continue to hold good also in the Kingdom of the Mind.”
  2. “that which is to-day but an ideal and an aspiration, will, if the Conservation of Energy hold good in the noetic world, as we believe it does, to-morrow have blossomed in a life wherein these things are hopes and dreams no longer; but part of the very fact and nature of the Universe”
  3. “‘evil’ for the Buddhist is that which brings suffering in its train; and how the world we live in, and the destiny we bear,-its meed of pleasure and of pain,-is made in the greater part of the mental Doing we inherit; just as the world a man inhabits in his dreaming is component in the main of the thoughts and actions of his daily life.”
  4. “as might be expecteced in a Religion where Theology and Pneumatology play no part, Ethics takes in it the foremost place”
  5. “this is in Buddhism accounted the true beginning of all righteousness,-unselfishness that gives all, whilst knowing yet that it shall never reap the gain”
