So in this case, Kalamas, don't go by reports, by legends, by traditions, by scripture, by logical conjecture, by inference, by analogies, by agreement through pondering views, by probability, or by the thought, 'This contemplative is our teacher.' When you know for yourselves that, 'These qualities are unskillful; these qualities are blameworthy; these qualities are criticized by the wise; these qualities, when adopted & carried out, lead to harm & to suffering' - then you should abandon them.

I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.

By three things the wise person may be known. What three? He sees a shortcoming as it is. When he sees it, he tries to correct it. And when another acknowledges a shortcoming, the wise one forgives it as he should.

The no-mind not-thinks no-thoughts about no-things.

There are three ways to correct our faults:We can change through behavior We can change through understanding We can change heart

Do not be thoughtless, always be mindful, watch your thoughts! Draw yourself out of the path of evil, like an elephant sunk in mud.

Reverence, humility, contentment, gratitude and hearing the good Dhamma, this is the best good luck.
