Buddhist Wisdom Lessons

Remember Buddha speaks in riddles!.



Buddha says:

"One is the way to gain, the other is the way to Nirvana, knowing this fact, students of the Buddha should not take pleasure in being honored, but, should practice detachment".



A way of thinking and acting in life, talking about a thought process, for example, some peoples thought process is toward greed.

So what the Buddha is saying there is understand your greed and where it would leed you.

Do not let yourself be taken over and ruled by greed etc.

This doesnt mean dont buy things or have money or possessions, it means understand what these things are, do not let them control you, or own you, you control your possessions not the other way around.

You should be detached from worldly greed, and let your mind be calm, to your wealth in life, this way it doesnt become a burden on your soul or mind.

They are just things you need to live but are not life itself, as physical life and its many items are not permanent.
