Brahmanavagga - The Brahmana : He who is not wrathful, but is dutiful, virtuous, not moistened with craving, controlled, and bears his final body, him I call a brãhmana. Dhammapada Verse 400.

Help Build a Friendship

By Ven. Horowpothane Sathindriya
Originally Published in the The Age on the 15th of May 1999.

There are so many people in this society.
It is hard to find a good person to
associate with
Talking and conversation help
build a friendship.

Among friends there should be
confidence
Association helps to recognise and
understand each other.
Love, happiness and grief should
be shared.
As well as ideas and opinions among
them without arguments.

True friendship never breaks.
When friends have troubles.
They solve by negotiating.
It helps them to live peacefully and
happily.

Best of friends advise each other.
On how to expel and eradicate their evils.
They have to cultivate goodness
within themselves.
May there be friendship, harmony
and unity in the world.
