Urban planning; Buddhist Proverb ("If you can fix it...")

[Benjamin J Barrett]

At www.world-view.org/media/text/course11/C11Notes.pdf, this is given in
notes taken from a video in which the Dalai Lama evidently speaks in
Tibetan:

GELTE CHUSU YUNA NI DE LA MIGAR CHISHIK YU
if you can fix it about that get upset what's the point

If you have a problem that you can do something about, why get upset?
Just go fix it.


GELTE CHUSU MENA NI DE LA MIGA JE CHIPEN
if you can't fix it to be upset what's the use

If you have a problem that you can't do anything about, what's the use
of getting upset?

BUDDHIST PROVERB

>From today's New York Post. The New York Giants backup backup
quarterback--best known for his stint on tv's THE BACHELOR--is citing a
Buddhist proverb. Does anyone have the proverb?

"I read a couple of books in the Buddhist philosophy just to kind of
educate myself on religion and all those kind of things," Palmer said
during a recent lunchtime break at training camp. "There's a Buddhist
saying that says if you can fix it then don't worry about it and if you
can't fix it, don't worry about it, because you can't fix it. It's kind
of an attitude, hey, you've got to deal with all these things."
