Love begets joy. Joy begets peace. Peace begets patience. Patience begets kindness.

Kindness begets goodness. Goodness begets faithfulness. Faithfulness begets gentleness.

Gentleness begets self-control. This is another quote from the Buddhist Book of Wisdom, The Diamond Sutra, written by Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism. It’s an important part of Buddhist thinking because it emphasizes the link between love and wisdom, two things that are often considered separate in our culture.

Love and intelligence are both vital to our happiness, but wisdom is more than intelligence; it’s about love as well.
