Narada Maha Thera on Purity in Buddhism
← Back to Narada Maha Thera Profile
“Morality is only the preliminary stage on the Path of Purity.”
“The Buddhas point out the path, and it is left for us to follow that path to obtain our purification.”
“It is not within the power of a Buddha to wash away the impurities of others. One could neither purify nor defile another. The Buddha, as Teacher, instructs us, but we ourselves are directly responsible for our purification.”
