A discussion on all aspects of Theravāda Buddhism
by Nibbida » Mon Oct 12, 2009 3:15 pm
I heard a talk by a teacher that quoted something from the Pali Canon, to the effect of:
"A person's worst enemy is an untrained mind.
A person's greatest friend is a well-trained mind."
I can't find any sutta references. Can anybody think of any? Perhaps Dhammapada?
It sounds so familiar I feel like I'm missing something obvious.
Thanks,
Nibbida
