From anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. -Luke 6.27-30Buddha:Hatreds do not ever cease in this world by hating, but by love; this is an eternal truth.

Overcome the miser by giving, overcome the liar by truth. -Dhammapada 1.5 & 17.3-- Jesus:The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. -Matthew 13.31-32Buddha:Do not underestimate good, thinking it will not affect you. Dripping water can fill a pitcher, drop by drop; one who is wise is filled with good, even if one accumulates it little by little. -Dhammapada 9.7. Artikel-Nr. 9781569751695
