Just A Thought ~ RIGHT MOTIVE

Do good, not for what you might get as a result, but because you have the opportunity and capacity, and because you love life.

Motive is so important. Did not the Buddha say, “Cetanam bhikkhave kamman vadami” (“Intention, O monks, I declare to be karma”)? Are you so sure about heaven that you will do anything to get there? Don’t delude yourself; deeds that cause pain and suffering will never lead to blessings.
