1. “Radiate boundless love towards the entire world.”

2. “A disciplined mind brings happiness.”

3. “Give, even if you only have a little.”

4. “ Conquer anger with non-anger. Conquer badness with goodness. Conquer meanness with generosity. Conquer dishonesty with truth.”

5. “Those who cling to perceptions and views wander the world offending people.”

6. “Drop by drop is the water pot filled. Likewise, the wise man, gathering it little by little, fills himself with good.”

7. “I will not look at another’s bowl intent on finding fault: a training to be observed.”

8. “Let none find fault with others; let none see the omissions and commissions of others. But let one see one’s own acts, done and undone.”

9. “Should a person do good, let him do it again and again. Let him find pleasure therein, for blissful is the accumulation of good.”

10. “May all beings have happy minds.”

Buddha Purnima (also known as Buddha Jayanti) celebrates the birth of Prince Siddharta Gautama — a Nepali prince (circa 563-483 B.C.) who later went on to become known as the Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. The word ‘Purnima’ is Sanskrit for ‘full moon’, which explains why it is celebrated on a full moon day, and ‘Jayanti’ means ‘birthday’. The word Buddha is given to those who attain ‘bodhi’ or wisdom, hence the name was ascribed to Siddartha once he attained enlightenment. It is commonly celebrated during the month of ‘Vaisakhi’ in Hindu/Buddhist lunar calendars.
