I have picked one proverb from The Dhamapada.

I have to explain what the proverb means and how it might be applied to life.

the response needs to include the following..

1. the proverb in your own words

2. examples from real life which illustrate the point of the proverb. you may write about events in your personal life which demonstrate the meaning of this proverb or you may use examples from the lives of people you know or about whom you have read or heard

3. your determination as to whether this proverb teaches a belief unique to Buddhism or a universal idea found in many deggerent realigions and philosophies

The proverb I have chosen is..

“Bad deed, and deeds hurtful to oursleves, are easy to do; what is beneficial and good, that is very difficult to do.”

Any ideas?

Thanks for any and all help.
