An outside enemy exists only if there is anger inside.
An un-cut hand can handle poison, but why take the risk?
An unshakable, unconcerned mind can never be entangled and troubled.
An untrained-mind will fight you for what it wants to call its own,
just like a dog, if you try to take away its bone.
Analyze what is not genuine and just dressed and disguised.
Analyzed carefully under the scope of close and constant observation,
clinging attachment gradually dissolves into peace.
And again monks, a Bhikkhu reflects closely upon this very body,
from the soles of the feet up and from the tips of the hair down,
enclosed by the skin and various kinds of impurities.
Anger always arises together with mental pain.
Anger and accelerated breath are intimations of a painful death.
Anger fosters misery. Fury clouds the mind. Rage results in disaster
Anger produces only unwholesome actions.
Anger will disappear just as soon as thoughts of resentment are forgotten.
Anger will never disappear so long as thoughts of resentment are cherished in the mind.
Animals have no chance to increase Dhamma.
If we do not practice with right understanding,
we fall back to the level of animals.
Anticipate the poisonous snake in the path, and avoid its bite.
Any dirty little deed you might want to conduct when no one is looking
is still seen and observed by yourself. Watch and act accordingly.
Any form of attachment is a poisonous and harmful thing.
Any one of the senses will trap and ensnare, so observe and beware.
Any phenomenon whatever,
sensed or conceived in the mind
is a subject worthy of penetrative
analysis and investigation.
Any satisfying and comforting illusion needs to be constantly renewed.
Anything that appears will disappear of itself;
trying to stop the process will cause consternation and pain.
Anything you attain is karmic. This is what turns the Wheel.
Anything you want to be is just a delusive, worldly desire.
Apply mindfulness with arduous effort striving for deliverance.
Arising of wisdom is freedom from attachment to the five khandas: material form; feelings; perceptions; mental formulations; and consciousness.
