Did you know that we are born naturally good but as we grow up the worlds defilements is what turns us bad? The Buddha said that if we are not told that then we would not know. There is no one that is born naturally "bad". Practicing loving kindness towards everyone and patience you gradually wash away your impurities.. There is a book called "Discourses by the Buddhas disciples." It's a very systematic book of the Buddhas teachings that his followers remembered and it's supposed to be what the Buddha said. Hope that helps. Hi EagerStudent,

I've also mentioned this in another thread, if you use quotes in your posts please give the title and the author, as well as a URL link.

"Little by little the wise one fills himself full, drop by drop the cup is filled." -The Buddha Its not enough to just say this, you have to give a link to where you read it, because unfortunately there are a lot of misquotes on quote sites followed by the words "-the Buddha " so we often use more reliable Buddhist study sites for our information.

I have also Googled "Discourses by the Buddhas disciples" and can't find the book you mentioned. Who is the translator or author?

with kind wishes,
