rd and variance were entirely appeased.--Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king. Creatures of every variety were moved one toward another lovingly; fear and terror altogether put away, none entertained a hateful thought; the Angels, foregoing their heavenly joys, sought rather to alleviate the sinner's sufferings.--Fo-sho-hing-tsan-king. The virtuous retain in their mind the good done to them, whereas the evil they experience drops from their mind, like water from a lotus-petal.--Jatakamala.
