SPIRITUAL FRIEND VS EVIL FRIEND

SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP

One day, Ananda, who had been thinking deeply

about things for while,

turned to the Buddha and exclaimed :

“Lord, I’ve been thinking-spritual friendship

is at least half of the spiritual life!”

The Buddha replied :

“Say not so, Ananda, say not so.

Spiritual friendship

is the whole of the spiritual life!”


AN EVIL FRIEND

An insincere and evil friend

is more to be feared than a wild beast;

a wild beast may wound your body

but an evil friend will wound your mind.
