Jesus and the Buddha #28

"I will show you what someone is like who comes to me, hears my words, and acts on them. That one is like a man building a house, who dug deeply and laid the foundation on rock: when a flood arose, the river burst against his house but could not shake it, because it had been well built. But, the one who hears and does not act is like the man who builds his house upon ground with no foundation. When the river burst against it, immediately it fell, and great was the ruin of that house."

JESUS
Luke 6: 47-49


"As rain leaks into a poorly roofed house, so does passion invade an uncultivated mind. As no rain leaks into a well-roofed house, passion does not invade a cultivated mind."

BUDDHA
Dhammapada 1: 13-14
