Sunday Quote: the winds of life

Monks, eight worldly winds spin after the world, and the world spins after these eight winds: Gain and loss, fame and disrepute, praise and blame, pleasure and pain. These are the eight worldly conditions that spin after the world, and the world spins after these eight worldly conditions.

The Buddha, Lokavipatti Sutta

A falling leaf does not hate the wind

Lin Yutang, 1895 – 1976, Chinese philosopher, linguist, novelist, and translator.
