You have no name and no form. Why miss what you do not have?
Being the seeker, you need not be sorry.
Love and joyfully follow the way, the quiet way to the happy country.
‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’
Hold your tongue. Do not exalt yourself
But lighten the way for your words are sweet.
Follow the truth of the way
Reflect upon it. Make it your own.
Live it. It will always sustain you.
‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’
Quieten your mind.
Reflect.
Watch.
Nothing binds you.
You are free.
‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’
You have come out of the hollow
Into the clearing.
The clearing is empty.
Why rush back into the hollow?
Desire is a hollow
Once you are free,
Why give up your freedom?
‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’
Pleasures flow everywhere.
You float upon them
And are carried from life to life.
Like a hunted hare you run,
The pursuer of desire pursued,
Harried from life to life.
O seeker!
Give up desire.
Shake off your chains.
‘The Dhammapada – The Sayings of The Buddha’
As the grass is cleared for the fresh root, cut down desire
Lest death after death crush you, As a river crushes the helpless reeds.
Like a border town well guarded, Guard yourself within and without
Let not a single moment pass Lest you fall into darkness.
‘The Dhammapada- The Sayings of The Buddha’
